If you have a phone with T-Mobile spyware then it almost certainly also has a locked bootloader with no official unlock method. What are you expecting people developing alternate OSes to do about that?

The obvious way to get a phone not running T-Mobile spyware is to not buy a phone from T-Mobile.

Not trying to be snarky here, I have one of these phones too. Though if you happen to have a T-Mobile Oneplus phone like I do it is possible to flash the international ROM and replace the T-Mobile spyware with Chinese spyware.

To clarify, some of the phones you can buy directly from T-Mobile can also be bought "unlocked" in the open market.

In general, if you want any hope of unlocking your phone (either for use on other carriers or unlocking the bootloader) then you should NOT buy from the carriers' online or brick & mortar stores.
