> For them having an unlockeded system is an indication of something "bad" happening (spying, fraud, theft) and given how central smartphones are becoming in users life, I prefer that my mothers banking app refuses to work if her smartphones chain of trust is compromised.
In real life, the main security issue on smartphones right now is dubious quality stock ROMs and checking the bootloader won't help you with that.
The move should be in the opposite direction, it should be impossible for security reasons to query if the bootloader is unlocked or not from the device itself.
