It can, but that doesn't mean it will.
Any object can be locked on, meaning no lock is effectively protected or private or... anything.
To paraphrase you, "An object can be stored privately".
It encourages shared locks, which is seriously the worst deadlock inducing anti-pattern to have ever manifested in multithreaded programming.
I'll ignore the hyperbole and continued posturing. Please understand it does absolutely nothing in carrying your point. A technical question I have is - what are shared locks, and what are superior alternatives to them?
