You can respec you char and their stats any time you like. Which means once they hit lvl 3 lock they can respec and dump both str and dex and focus solely on cha, con and wis. This turns pally from a MAD to a SAD class which is nice. They also can use warlock spell slots for smites and those recharge on short rest, and finally they'll get eldritch blast for those situations when you need to attack from range.

I like sorcadin more than lockadin as well, but lockadin has value beyond the extra attack glitch. Also warlock has a lot of flavor RP wise. Making a pact with some powerful patron so you can pally harder is fucking dope.

He is starting Paladin so you are talking about level 9-10 which is straight up like the end of the game, by then you were going to be dumping STR anyway since you have an unlimited supply of potions of giant strength by then. I just don't think a better cantrip and using CHA on hit is worth having straight up 1/4th the spell slots, a worse spell list (although to be fair hunger of hadar is so good it could be argued that alone makes warlock spell list on par with sorc), and most importantly, no meta magic. If Eldritch invocations weren't so bad/few or if the darkness devil sight combo worked I would be all for Lockadin but right now if it wasn't for that 3 attack glitch they just don't offer much for pally that sorc doesn't.

Now if you are starting Warlock then yeah I think going Paladin is their best multi is probably your best bet.
