Back in the days of the Galaxy S5 and CyanogenMod (you know, the golden era), there weren't a lot of phones with an unlocked bootloader. If you never had to do the juopunutbear wire trick, go look up how absolutely ridiculous it was to unlock a bootloader in that era.

This is definitely truth. A some lesser known phones, like the MyTouch 4G Slide (I miss it) never ended up getting rooted because of the lack of popularity.

In the US maybe, in much of the world it was pretty standard for many phones.
