Maybe because not all sheets need to have protection??? For example, nobody
uses my personal PC, and I don't care whether or not some of my sheets
or protected or not.....therefore, all the cells may be unlocked with a
call to ".Cells.locked = False"??? But ya, I understand that most people
would
rather have their spreadsheet entirely locked.

In passing, I can't imagine why one would ever do .Cells.locked = False
