Does this mean that if you buy the phone with CarrierX you can’t use it with CarrierY? To me it sounds like fucking madness, man. Here in Italy we don’t have these things, I think they’re illegal in the whole EU.

Typically you can take it to another carrier by asking the original one to unlock the phone. Each carrier has their own policy on the criteria to grant the request.

Usually there are deep discounts on the phone to make it worth it. If someone is paying full price up front then it's better to buy directly from the manufacturer.
