It is the Japanese government that doesn't want Sony, Sharp, Mitsubishi et al to export their high-end domestic phones outside of Japan. Why else would they all make it so insanely hard to unlock their phones and not sell any unlocked ones?

No, it's not the government. It's the carriers. take a look at websites of docomo,softbank,or au. There's no Keitai sold on multiple carriers.In addition to SIM locks, those phones have OSs specially designed for carrier and its services,and sometimes have no ability to work on an another. Japanese government is actually on anti-SIM-lock side.
