Yeah, otherwise the bad guys can just wait till you're not looking at your phone, reflash your it with a backdoored version, and wait for you to unlock it (evil maid attack).

I hate it when the bad guys do this to my phone
The bad guys e.g. the police detaining you during a protest and temporarily seizing your property, or the border police "scanning" your phone.
If your phone was in hands of police you better sell it anyway because they could install a physical GPS tracker, etc. So locked bootloader doesn't change much.
Also if you live in a truly democratic country you don't even need to set the PIN code - your rights are protected by the law.
