Posts like these are a fantastic read, and genuinely show that propriatary code doesn't necessarily need to be special. It's often just done to save time, and thus money of the corporation. I doubt the original unlock does anything malicious, but it was likely just easier to push through from Lenovo's side.
But the fact that it can be accomplished by such a simple plaintext script also shows that the efficient, lazy way can also be wrong. There's no reason that I know of, that the script couldn't be the official way provided by Lenovo. Throw the dev of the script a couple bucks and adopt it into the official repo. Everyone's better off.
