Unlocked? What???

I'd be willing to bet that only slightly over 5% of American cell users even know what unlocking is. Actually, if we were to assume that half of all users here are on GSM, then that means perhaps 10% of GSM users have unlocked phones. Sounds about right to me.

I've found a surprisingly large number of people have no idea how their phones work, that they can be unlocked, or even that they use a SIM card.

And that is exactly what Verizon wants. They do not want thier users to know that a "SIM Card" exists.
