Hey, that's what people said about Vodafone at first- couldn't be unlocked and all that. Look at them now- plenty of people are using Sharp and Toshiba phones outside Japan on local contracts. All it takes is the capability to be used outside Japan, and sufficient desirability, and people will start rushing to unlock it (that's what happened with the V801SH and V801SA). Also, willcom seems like a small company too, but last time I was in Japan, a computer store I shopped at (Bic Camera in Yurakucho, Tokyo) was giving away Willcom data cards with laptops.
