  As far as I know, most if not all bootloaders are locked, not just on
Samsung devices and not just only on US models.

  An unlocked bootloader is a gigantic security risk, because it doesn't
only allow *you* to install other system level software, but also
*anyone else* (thief, someone who finds your lost phone), who can then
get access to your personal data.

  FYI, there are on-line - paid - services which can unlock the
bootloader of most phones. I used one to unlock the bootloader of my
stone-age Huawei Ascend Y300 phone. That said, I wouldn't do that again
for my current - out of update-support - Samsung Galaxy A51, unless it
became unusable/too_old and I couldn't afford a replacement.

  You might want to check if there's a custom 'ROM' for your particular
model phone. LineageOS probably has the widest range of supported
models.
