The Samsung bootloader is locked by default. They're talking about it being unable to unlock it.

So basically its impossible to install any custom firmware on it meaning you are stuck with Samsung's own crappy rom.

There aren't any good custom roms for Samsung phones anyway, so i guess samsung might as well lock down at least their version of android.
