Unlocking bootloader/flashing isn’t so easy for most people. I root every device I get, but for normal users this process isn’t easy. Also some manufacturers aren’t so friendly towards people unlocking bootloaders. I remember Sony lowering camera quality when you unlocked/installed Cyanogenmod back in Z2 times, or more recently Asus preventing you from unlocking completely.
Didn’t work for me on a Samsung S6 or S10. Maybe I will try again some day but for now it’s not worth the risk of never being able to go back, thanks to the Samsung physical one-time fuse.
Yeah, the bootloader really seems like a challenge. ADB fortunately is extremely easy, especially if you use a tool like App Manager from F-Droid to correspond package names to specific applications.
Just adb shell when your phone is in developer mode and you hook up to your computer via USB, then pm uninstall --user0 packagename.

Eupean banking apps refuse to launch on unlocked phones. And you need said banking apps as mandatory 2fa to log into your online banking system.
So in EU you gotta choose between banking and rooting.
Denylist in magisk works for me in eu

My next phone should be a Pixel with Graphene…
S10 LineageOS user here: Works with Lygisk and the Play Integrity Fix module.
So Samsung doesn’t let users go back to stock & relock? That truly sucks!
Try Kitsune Magisk. I had problems with regular Magisk but this one works really well so far.
The apps my bank uses run perfectly well on graphene
