I hope that my rooted One UI 7 doesn't get the update through some backdoor in the Google Play Services package... Or the next time I unblock Google Play to update the very few paid apps that I use...

Google doesn’t sell any devices that run OneUI, which makes your post somewhat disingenuous… and strengthens your point. You bought the device from Samsung, so you are even more right to be news at what Google is doing since you are not Google’s customer.

I agree, I tried to shove two themes into one. Samsung's decision to disable bootloader unlocking from OneUI 8 just kind of puts more weight on Google's decision on disallowing unauthenticated apks. For Samsung users, that is.
