It does, but only for users technical enough to do so. And most users who are, probably buy newer phones anyways.

Also, here in the US, our largest carrier (Verizon), requires phones to have encrypted bootloaders. So my phone, for instance, cannot be flashed with a third party build.

Nexus 5X and 6P work on Verizon, and have a unlockable bootloader out of the box.
