Because deciding you don't want a contract and actually paying the ETF to get out of it means that iPhone you have isn't really yours to use elsewhere. I mean, heaven forbid you actually, maybe, want to have it unlocked so you can use it in the UK instead of a US carrier that isn't on the Apple approved network list.

If you complete the contract (one way or another....via service time or ETF or whatever), the hardware should be yours to do with as you see fit. If that means you want it unlocked, there should be absolutely NOTHING a carrier can do to prevent that.
