I also lock my computers - without usernamen/password none of my
computers can be used. And I've been working as software developer,
network administrator and team lead in the IT industry for 30 years now.
I've 'locked' my computer with a PIN code, but if they want my data,
it's on the unencrypted D: drive.
What matters, both philosophically & technically, is you have a plan for
a. Efficient daily use
b. Easy backup & restore
c. Secure personal data
Those who don't know computers don't have a plan and hence they're forced
to lock it up (and to use "someone else's computer" to backup their data).
Back to the topic at hand, if RCS/MLS require a login/password on an
Internet server through which all the messages go, that's terrible for
privacy.
Sure, the messages are encrypted; but the metadata is your privacy.
