I believe users which play music via HDMI-connected monitor do exist. The default GNOME not allowing lock without blank is just discriminating their use-case and thus breaking their focus and flow :). Caffeine does not help here - but if it would, I would be so glad (I need to lock after 5 minutes, but not to blank with the lock)
