While previously supportive of developers, including access to bootloader unlocking for their smartphones, around the time of the Wang Mengzhou incident Huawei changed their stance, causing much frustration. This was compounded by their exit from various western markets, such as Canada, meaning that users of their smarphones could not use third party firmware updates, nor could they get further OEM updates.
