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.

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.

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.
