you never have one wheel drive - even with an open centre torque is always distributed evenly to both axles. the difference lies in which wheel limits the amount of torque that can be applied.

Wrong answer.
If you understand how the Locker works, you can see that it simulates the function of a regular diff by releasing the faster turning axle from the dog clutch. The faster turning axle actually turns faster than the diff center & receives NO mechanical drive at all. It actually freewheels.
If the single driven wheel should slip [that would normally be the inner wheel when turning] say in the wet or mud, the increased speed of the diff catches up with the freewheeling axle in the distance of a single dog segment, & it becomes locked together with the other axle to provide locked drive to both axles.

I tend to agree with your observations about it, & they were included in my list of reasons why we did not adopt them in some of our vehicles to improve off road capability. Just too dangerous for the average driver.
