OB Europe in Venlo never informed its customers that this is not possible with their M92 models (black pearl or standard versions).
Weird, indeed. The hardware is supposed to be the same (I think). So here unless you contact the store directly for more info it's not possible to rule out anything. Like you I don't appreciate the fact that they force and lock a firmware. BTW to me Onyx Boox Europe is https://www.onyx-boox.com is the one selling the Black Pearl version of firmware
