ASUS killed off bootloader unlocking back in May and has yet to fix that. If you try right now, you cannot unlock your ASUS phone. They may fix that in the future and are saying that’s the case but as of right now, you can’t.

Claiming that they want to allow it is pretty worthless if it has been killed off for months with no fix (and no fix in sight)…

All that’s left is to post onto Mastodon and move on from Twitter.

Doesn’t exactly reflect well on Asus’ customer service but good to get confirmation at least (especially as someone who just bought a ZF10!)

Part of their Zenfone marketing is keeping “legacy” features like headphone jack and small form factor, they should allow unlocking. Hopefully they’ll follow through and allow you to modify the device that you purchased.
