No, the argument seems to suggest an objection to OTHER PEOPLE having locks.
The rationale being that if it's possible to make some largely impractical effort to scan every page of an ebook, or the possibility that some hacker some where may some day break a information security system, then the whole concept of OTHER people even putting some hurdles in the way, to deter having their IP used in a way they don't want, is totally pointless. But if THEY THEMSELVES choose to put those same hurdles in place to protect THEIR OWN property, then it makes perfect sense.
