One of the reason you visit quite a few government sites and find that if your browser user agent string says X11 you are blocked is because X11 does not have working lock-screen.
Yes browser cannot lock screen but a OS that does not have correct lock screen if detected can be classed as a Invalid client to connect.
Weasel these government rules are causing people trouble.
Yes you are right a browser cannot cause screen to lock but has a feature to prevent screen locking.
Weasel on ISO27001 and others you need to catch up. X11 does not pass many different security rules around the world.
Weasel like it or not its not nonsensical example. One of the reason why Linux desktop has trouble getting desktop market share is you do business with governments you need to sign off that you desktops all meet something like ISO27001 with functional lock screens even if the way you will be interfacing with the government will be web browser.
X11 issue with Lock screen is only tip of little security things that Windows and Mac OS can do but X11 desktop environment cannot.
