While Xflock4 is not the only script in xfce4-utils, it is one of the
scripts. It should be important to support ALL tools in a package, not
just the ones that work without effort. It is interesting that you point
out that if xscreensaver/gnome-screensaver is installed xflock4
supposedly works. My system has xscreensaver-gl and xflock4 did not
work. This is actually besides the point, as neither xscreensaver nor
gnome-screensaver are depends (xscreensaver is a recommends)

xfterm4 is a script in the package that works because xterm or 
x-terminal-emulator is a depends
startxfce4 is a script in the package that works because x11-server-utils and 
libxfcegui4-4 are depends and there needs to be a properly configured 
xfce4-session
xfbrowser4 is a script in the package that launches whatever is set as the 
system default browser
xfmountdev4 is a script in the package that will not work without thunar. 
Thunar is a depends elsewhere so this script not working without it is rarely 
noticed.
xfhelp4 onpen "file:///usr/share/xfce4/doc/C/index.html" in the default web 
browser

The only actual scripts that don't depend on other applications (unless
they do and I'm just not seeing it) are xfrun4 and xfce4-about
