If the doors become unlatched in a crash they would do so even if locked. The lock mech doesn't do anything different to the latch it just won't let it be opened without a key/fob. Locking your door will keep people out but does not make it any stronger.
I believe they unlock so people can get you out.....you know rescue and stuff.
