It is recommends because it is needed. Not for procmail, but for

procmail would just be of a 'suggests'-nature if mentioned at all, but 
several of the account types needs the lockfile command.

First of all you neither have to get access over the menu, nor must open a 
graphic POP button for debugging the microkernel over a modem of the DLL 
prompt of a Fast desktop to the line.
