Personally I never saw a use for that and didn't want it to be turned on on my systems ever. (mainly because I do want to be able to paste things to the desktop, e.g.)
There's a continuum from Power User<->Supervised user<->Kiosk user. I guess you're at the left end of that spectrum, Kiosk users have the config locked down at a file level since KDE 2 times (and the UI changes to reflect that, but there is a use case in the middle for allowing unauthenticated changes via the UI, but having a safety lock to prevent unintentional changes. Krita had a dockwindow UI lock and removed it lock a few releases ago because they couldn't make it discoverable and were sick of bug reports, and now Plasma has followed suit. I used it for my kids, who manage to unintentionally destroy their Krita UI with a clumsy tap about once per session. It will remain to be seen whether they now start trashing their desktop layout too (although I could still poke it locked with an env.sh file...).
