There may not be massive amounts of locked pages, but the issue is with pages being sysop locked. Who is the judge of when a page is "complete"? I believe that no article needs to be locked to the sysop level. If staff are concerned that an article is "high traffic", then why not set it at user level lock? If anything, sysop locking of a page should only be a temporary solution in the event that it is massively vandalised or prone to edit warring. In my opinion, featured articles being sysop locked is a poor excuse to have that level of "security" set upon them.
