If you're curious why it is the way it is, you used to be able to be demoted from your league if you were losing a lot, too. The lock was a feature which tried to promote just focusing on the game, your own play, and your rank within the division you were in. The fear was that people at the end of the season would stop playing if they were risking getting demoted (Since they wouldn't place Diamond at the end if they got demoted to Platinum).
This was removed a long time ago but the season lock was never removed.

Actually, it was to create a last minute competition on the division leaderboard while the divisions were locked down.
It was totally stupid then and it's totally stupider now.
