I also failed to install. Probably need the original fingerprint. Hopefully Google will do something about it.

I followed this procedure, but when the software starts downloading, it says "couldn't find the unique software for this device" and stops the download process. Has anyone managed to successfully complete this?

The bad phone ever. Google always release the first version to their devices before to other company. And Google has a few series, so should be optimizing is great and better than other company. But it just bad phone from Stock Android.

Locking hardware to the motherboard should be only for security purposes like fingerprint scanners and face id.
Screen, battery, camera etc should not be tied to the motherboard.
Because a Chinese device can bypass it. And it also serves no purposes.
But if they are locking for anti-theft reasons then the user should be in control i.e., the user can lock and unlock those hardwares at any time even from remote using his id. And no Chinese device should bypass it.
In that way, even the parts can't be used in other phones from a stolen phone.

More tat manufactured on a budget, and sold at a premium. But people lap it up, and are willing to 'beta test' said hardware into the bargain too. Thus saving the companies even more money...

This actually makes sense. Google isn't trying to cripple its phones / one's right to repair like Apple does. They're just trying to protect users from HW hacks, which is why the fingerprint reader is the only component tied to mainboard.
