Disabling file locking there (and backup files too, perhaps?) would make
sense, but the user should be able to override it. (They may have
directories called "/media" that's not a mounted file system.)
As for other use cases -- I have, for instance, some automated processes
on several systems that write to the same file, and file locking of that
file has tripped me up before. I've now rewritten those processes to
work differently, but if `lock-file-name-transforms' had existed before
(and allowed disabling locking based on regexps) I would have used that
instead.
I'm sure there's as many use cases for disabling auto-save/locking based
on regexps as there are for transforming the file names.
