Even at $200 the price is heavily subsidised by ATT (thats why the price dropped from 2G to 3G), therefore they rightly lock it down to ensure they protect their revenue stream and don't lose money on the handset.

Unlocked iPhone's are available in a number of countries (definitely in Italy, circa Euro600).
