I wish flashing custom ROMs was like flashing custom firmware to routers. With most routers you can return it back to stock and no one will know the difference.
Not enforceable in Europe. The OEM would have to explicitly prove that the bootloader unlock is what caused the issue that brought about the warranty claim.
I just know that unlocking a pixel voids the warranty
And how do you “just know” that? Any sources? Everything I’ve read and even done with my Pixel says otherwise, though I do return to stock and relock before returning.

Is this not the case with the pixel?
It is the case for a Pixel. Flash stock, relock and no one will know you’ve messed with your device.
Once its unlocked it trips a fuse on a hardware level.
A pixel is better but not perfect
I think that’s Samsung. The Pixels don’t have a fuse AFAIK.
I’ve never owned a Samsung device. I just know that unlocking a pixel voids the warranty
No it doesn’t. Also you can just relock the bootloader. Google doesn’t care.
