So my follow-up question is the opposite: why is there the option to lock it at all?
My teaching job rarely includes typing numbers, but when doing basic data entry I prefer the number pad infinitely. To the point that on my personal keyboard at home I had to convince myself NOT to buy an ergonomic number pad to go with my ergonomic keyboard so I could stay under budget for my home work set up.
Who benefits from keeping it locked?
