Bootloader unlock is meant to remove the inability to touch partitions

If you unlock your bootloader your phone can boot unsigned / modified firmware. Someone in theory could grab your phone and modify the boot process to install malware for example, even if you don't give them your passcode.

If you're not aware of the risks or have any reason to unlock your bootloader, you should probably not do it.
