Sorry I've been living on a totally ancient phone with a screen half the size of a PSP battery for all this time, what are the advantages of unlocked vs locked bootloader?

Sorry, let me reword that...

What are the main advantages of using custom ROMs (from what I understand, that's the reason why people unlock their bootloaders) compared to simply rooting?  Because you can root the Optimus 4X HD.

I heard Windows isn't that bad, it's just Android has way more applications for it.  There's also probably more customisability with all the custom ROMs around (assuming you can install custom stuff on your phone).

Further research seems to suggest that the Nokia Lumia 900 is permanently locked to Windows Phone 7.X and will never get an upgrade to 8.  That sucks balls, not buying.
