actually the alpha channel lock is a major source of confusion, sometimes even for me. "Huh, painting doesn't work". Also it has a different use pattern: Your descision if you need to toggle it depends only on the layer itself. This is - as I explained - very much different from locking the layer completely: Your attention shifts to a different group of layers and you want to toggle this on multiple layers simultaneously. With your proposed solution it would be a major PITA to do this.
