Unlocking the bootloader is a step to be able to install twrp + root and others, I personally did this because I wanted to downgrade.
Like the current type of xiaomi phone or the latest type, many require xiaomi phones to unlock mi, such as the redmi note 4/4x mido type, redmi note 5, redmi 5, redmi 5 plus, redmi 5a and many types of the latest versions of mobile phones.
There are many reasons for unlocking the boatloader, such as feeling unsatisfied with the latest rom update, wasteful battery, wanting to downgrade, wanting to upgrade, wanting to try a custom rom, wanting to repair and many more reasons, of course only my friend knows the reason why unlocking the boatloader .
