I think the point of this is when on an easy, but tight and twisty, part of the trail you can simply shift into 2wd and get easier/better turning, then shift it into 4wd when needed again. Stopping for a second and moving the shifter is a lot easier and faster then getting in and out the vehicle to lock in both hubs. Not like stopping to lock in the hubs is a huge deal, but doing it frequently on the trail can get old.....or finding out you need 4wd in the middle of some mild muddy ruts or the middle of a small hill and have to get out to lock the hubs.

Locker
I have a lockright in my front axle. It's pretty rough to turn with off road or on a trail, but it seems better than when I had it in the rear axle (different truck). The only thing I would change is to have selectable locker in the front so I can decide when I want the locker working.
