From UK perspective O2 asked Sony to lock bootloader on their PAYG phones and won't authorise Sony Care Centres to change this feature.

I'm having a hard time coming up with possible arguments to prevent a buyer from doing whatever they want with the device once it's in their possession. Surely this can't be legal?

Carriers don't care and it's also one way to to push you towards buying a new phone instead of rooting your old phone and keeping it.

Plus I'll ask the seller on ebay if the phones are factory unlocked or were unlock from a carrier afterwards.

I can if the device is subsidised or loaned to the user rather than sold.

Oh, but they do care. For one, to prevent hacking things like DRM or, sim unlocking. Oh that was two reasons 😄

https://blog.jolla.com/sony-xperia-project-update/
Update [31/7/2017] We have been working hard to fulfill our promise of delivering the first images during July, and as the month of July comes to an end, we now have the images ready to be handed over to Cbeta group for the initial verification and testing. Having the software ready for the public depends on the findings during this round of testing done with Cbeta group. This is our first official release that we provide for a device that doesn’t come pre-loaded with Sailfish OS. We have already learned a lot in the process, so bear with us a bit longer.
I want to become cbeta member now
