Basically no sellers I’ve seen whether their Pixels can have their boot loader unlocked. So how did you get yours and how can I avoid getting a lemon?

Apparently that isn’t the case. Carriers can and will use signed boatloaders that prevent unlocking, regardless of whether you can port your device to another carrier or not. At least that’s what I could gather in my research. The two locks are independent.
They are independent, but if it was originally carrier unlocked, you’re definitely okay. The way I understand it, Swappa at least, only allows OEM unlocked phones to be sold as unlocked.
