I would only ever worry about leaving a bootloader unlocked if I was working with very sensitive information on my phone and I knew that there are adversaries who are after it, or if I had any other reason that I wanted to ensure the integrity of the data on it.
As to the phone and OS in question, I have no experience with them.
@akunohana @wingnut If you leave the bootloader unlocked, some critical apps like banking apps may not work.
Guess I lucked out with my credit union app then. Thanks for the info!
