I do wonder if Motorola will back them on this.

I had the same thought. I could imagine a situation where Motorola is afraid about bad PR and them quitting their deal over it. Depending how far this goes.

I think it would behoove Motorola to make their bootloader unlockable (sorry, is that a hardware thing?), and let the consumer have the option to put whatever OS on it they wish.

Firmware. It's up to the OEM to enable it.
