Are there any devices that, by default/by design, allow the user to unlock the bootloader totally offline, no ransom, validation, account, internet or whatever required?

    Step 1. Get your unique unlock code
    (…)
    Go to the dedicated page for the bootloader code.
    Enter the IMEI 1 and serial number in the text fields of the form.
    Click the blue button Get your unlock code.
    You will then get your unique unlock code with further details.
    Write down the code somewhere. You’ll need it later.

    That sounds a lot like a form of external validation, so not really independent of third parties, and therefore not really an option for what I asked.

      Ah, my apologies, I missed that when I skimmed the page.
