Why are locking size and position treated as one?

I think your question wasn't answered because it could be taken as rhetorical. I've come across other properties that I thought ought to be on the pallette but were not. I suppose at some point, someone in a room somewhere who makes a lot more money than me has to decide that there will only be one checkbox. 

Now that you mention it, I think that is the answer to just about everything we encounter in the technological world that doesn't make sense to us at first, and upon further consideration, in a sudden epiphany, I believe at last I have the question to the answer to life the universe and everything! The question is...

Which version of the universe is this? The answer of course, is 42. I thing we are on rev 3. They are still working some of the bugs out.

I know how to get around the situation via script, but I don't know why there should be the inconvenience of having to "get around" anything.  Is there a good reason for this or is it just a legacy reality that could be changed?  Why not be able to drag an image around whose size is constrained?
