What bothered me wasn't that I couldn't edit the page. What bothered me was what I consider unnecessary locking.

If you have experienced vandalism, you have good reason to lock, but otherwise it just makes it harder for legit contributors to help. I'm not against globally preventing anons from editing (see Special:WikiFeatures), but locking because you think someone might vandalize is usually unnecessary.
