Root access on your phone isn't enough: there's layers below root.

I accidentally read this as "there's lawyers below root" and I'm not sure I'm wrong.

No matter what runlevel you’re on, judges are lower still.

It's lawyers all the way down :)

Yep. I don't need/want root access, as it is too much of a security risk IMO. But of course the possibility to install a `su` binary should be there.

I primarily want to be able to unlock the bootloader to install a custom de-googled Android Version (such as GrapheneOS) and then lock the bootloader again (using a custom_avb_key). This is currently possible with Google's Pixel devices, but most Android devices don't even offer this...

This. But being able to get root is a very good starting point.
