It's pretty easy to change or "get back" that ability. In the admin options under "User groups" you just have to change permissions for Premium users.
How do I know this? Xenforo demo.
Why do you do this to me? I'm on my phone.

Why I think it's like that is because:
1. You're obviously committed to the site when you buy Premium
2. Since you've paid money you're probably not going to screw around with those privileges
3. Locking and unlocking threads would get annoying
4. You get what you paid for (bang for your buck)
5. This is Jordan's life. He can't be a hobo and run a website.
There'd be some one (almost as stupid as monster_man) that'd lock and unlock a thread repeatedly or at least that's what'd I think they'd do.
The user group option you saw was likely the global lock / unlock permission setting, which would allow anyone in the user group to open or close any thread on the site. This is different from only allowing users to open or close threads which they have created, which was was a separate option that allowed me to provide that functionality to Premium users on our old forum software.It's pretty easy to change or "get back" that ability.

(Of course, what I did may vary from how you do it in GTP12)
As @EF12345678 mentioned, thread locking ability is a rather powerful control which, if abused or used incorrectly, could have significant consequences on the community at large.
Feel free but keep in mind that Jordan has made numerous customizations to the site so what you're able to do in the demo might not be possible here without affecting other things.
