About time. I’ve only ever bought iPhones directly from Apple so have never had to deal with the associated issues but to think it’s still a thing in 2020 is a bit of a joke.
Article on MSE advising the con of a locked mobile will soon be gone - giving much more freedom for sim deals, though I can also see the flip of handset prices increasing partly too

Over a full year away and for many years after that all the used pre Dec 2021 will still have the same problem.
They should have done this long long ago
I'm with 3, originally for the free 3 to 3 calls - back when you had restricted minutes, but a side benefit is that they don't lock their phones to their network so switching to a different sim was no problem if i wanted.
Current phone is on the apple upgrade program although I doubt I'll take advantage of it as my XS does what I want and I can divert the monthly payment into the watch fund, every little helps...
beauty of android phones esay to unlock and root for full control and de-bloat, not had a locked phone for 10 years.
