I can understand this too, because locking a layer is too restrictive. If a layer is locked, you can’t click on it and use keyboard shortcuts to reveal effects and other transform properties - even just to look at them. It’s so 2nd nature to click on a layer and press ‘e’ to see the effects, or ‘p’ to show it’s position.  If it’s locked you can’t do that.

So are you proposing that you can lock the transform properties only?  You could extend this feature request to be able to lock individual aspects of a layer, and not the entire layer itself.  You could lock the effects but not transforms, for example… or just lock the masks.  It would be less frustrating that the current lock feature.

Th entire time I’ve used After Effects (quite a while), I’ve wanted a check box to lock transforms on a layer, so that when I started getting tired and suddenly realize that I’ve been holding the arrow key down for the past thirty seconds, I’m not sending my base layer into outer space.
