Weren't they supposed to have done away with network locking?
Edit:
To answer my own question, in the UK the practice is to end in December 2021, but according to this [1] article O2 already only sell unlocked handsets

Thanks for the heads-up, Xperia 10II in post was from Vodafone UK, so presumably no SIM lock will apply to newer devices going forward. However whether network devices have "Bootloader unlock allowed" may be a different matter.
