You think we’re still in 2010? It’s been a while since you need to unlock the bootloader first. And no, you can’t do it with the device locked.

Edit: just checked. I can completely bypass all my locked down Google Pixel settings to factory reset my phone pretty easily if I press the right keys in the right order. It would be pretty easy to steal and resell my phone.

Mind to share what “Keys in the right order” are? I mean a link, of course, because in my experience you just can’t do that with a locked bootloader.

It’s an European law, thankfully.
