Just curious to know, what is the purpose of having someone's own userpage locked by Admin and not editable by himself? About days ago, a vandal user began messing up with someone's userpage, and I was forced to lock the page for him. Luckily, that person who I locked his userpage was an admin already, so he can edit his page (I locked it for just one day). But what if that person is not admin, and I locked (or anyone with admin rights) his userpage, he will be unable to edit.

I see this is part of security, and to block users. However, my argument stands that users still need a certain option in the protection settings to make their userpages editable by the users who own the userpages beside admins and Content Moderators.
