i work in LineageOS support. And i relatively often see that talk about "root". For many it feels like rooting, when they unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. Or do they think it is the android analogue to jailbreak?

For installing lineageos, you need to unlock the bootloader.
In these terms, as I'm just user and no contributer, it is called rooting. And that is how people will find tutorials.

I also need root for some apps like Magisk. With magisk one can pretend Apps the phone is still locked.
