What is the point of having account-wide instance lockouts when it's free to create multiple account? All it does is it puts the people who have chosen to put their alts on their main account at an annoying disadvantage.

I forgot to mention, this doesn't apply to raids :D
However it still puts an unfair restriction on a part of the community.

Yes. Retail accounts costs money though, and these don't. Please read the OP

But OP talks about multiple accounts. Locks are account wide (=locking one account), so it won't lock other accounts.
