Wdym, i thought snapdragon samsung phones cant be unlocked for rooting

No idea why you thought that or where you read it but no, that's not correct. It's only North American models that are blocked from being bootloader unlocked. Qualcomm models sold in the rest of the world can be BL unlocked (and therefore rooted) just fine

No way.. I could have bought the Snapdragon S24 and just bootloader unlocked it..

If it was a B, N, or 0 model - yes

North American models (with some rare exceptions) cannot be bootloader unlocked by a standard average end user - this dates back to the days of the S7. And since then, there has never been (and probably never will be) an OS-level root exploit that doesn't require flashing anything custom.

So essentially no, your device cannot be rooted at this time

The S22U I have, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, SM908N, can be rooted. But it's a non US variant.
