From the searching that I've done, more often than not, the drives are locked on accident and can never be unlocked. This is through the fault of the user and not an 'intended' purpose to guard data.

It is a good feature. People need to take steps to make sure they don't lose thier passwords. Though, I had a nasty scare with drivelock myself. Set a password, and then it didn't work. Turned out that the interface for setting a password did not allow you to use a \, but the password prompt did.
Anyway, as to drivelock.... I suguest you either use it, or encryption. It will put your mind at ease if your laptop gets stolen.
