    The wording on that table can be confusing; “Bootloader locked?” Yes/No is referring to the ability of Iodé installer and ROM to have that device bootloader re-locked after installation.

    I can garantee you pretty much all of them come with a locked bootloader from the factory/shop (even if they have a “no” on that page), and it needs to be unlocked to install a different rom from the stock one. Doesn’t matter what flavor of Android it is. It might be that IodéOS installer is doing the re-locking immediately after and so you’d think it wasn’t ever unlocked, but it was.

      Yeah, I took another look at it yesterday as I had worded it differently in my OP asking about it, and realised that it must be just presented incorrectly. I was wondering why I had asked differently.

      For example in my OP I asked why the Samsung has “No” across the board, and above, I asked why the Motorola has “Yes” across the board. Maybe it refers to if the Bootloader can be re-locked.
