    rooting and unlocking the bootloader are not the same thing. if the manufacturer provides steps to unlock the bootloader, then i agree that that is not jailbreaking

      Sure, but the method of rooting that I’m familiar with (and one I suspect is the most popular) is to unlock the bootloader and modify a boot image that you can freely download from Google’s website in accordance with their license, and then load and run that boot image onto your device.
