Shouldn’t. For reference, I got the new ATT iPhone this year at launch via the iPhone Upgrade Program and went on a trip to Europe within the 60 day window. I bought a European esim to use. My phone was not carrier locked. It only locks for other sellers.
AFAIK, this only happens in the US when you don’t buy the phone directly from the Apple Store. Try to buy from an Apple Store in the future if you can.
