I'm wondering if Nokia phones with Android One are not snitching on their users ...

Nokia licensed their mobile brand and now it's some Chinese producer slapping the logo on the devices. Probably on pair with Xiaomi and Huawei.

I don't think this is accurate. Microsoft acquired Nokia in 2014, but then spun off the brand to HMD Global (a new Finnish company) in 2017. HMD and Foxconn have a partnership in which both companies co-design the Nokia phones that are then manufactured by Foxconn in Taiwan.

probably below Xiaomi even: they promised an open bootloader once, but broke that promise and every bootloader after that was fully locked up.
