You should stop using products for ethical reasons

Yes, that's why I don't use Firefox. I don't like companies that give their CEOs the entirety of goodwill donations and use the vast majority of the rest of the money they make on companies with empty descriptions to give speeches and whatever instead of really investing in their technology to stop having stupid bugs and maybe even be better enough than Chrome to give normies a reason to use it.

  1. Don't use Brave rewards, so don't care.

  2. See 1.

  3. So like any for-profit company? Bad, but don't care.

  4. It's very brain dead to call the VPN service spyware. Besides, you're on Windows, you have a lot more spyware to worry about first.

  5. Yeah, don't care. If we go examining every company by if their leaders are morally good or not, we are gonna come very empty.

But do you know what I care about? A browser that actually fucking works on mobile and doesn't crash every other time I open it up.

I'm using right now a Poco F5 with a 7+ gen 2 and, besides gpu intensive stuff (playing Genshin Impact on lowest settings doesn't always give 60fps), I can't tell the difference from more powerful phones.

I believe the reason they do this is because some resellers were unlocking the bootloader and installing a ROM with malware and selling that off to unsuspecting customers. This delay (and needing to be registered with a phone number) makes that process both impractical and easy to detect.

This is true, but also really stupid. The resellers that insert malicious roms into their phones always manage to get a privileged account from someone at Xiaomi that allows for instant bootloader unlock, so only legit customers get screwed by this.
