I opened #91624 but realize it might be related to this one as well. In case you wanted another test, @mrfoxtalbot.

I cannot repro (or maybe I do not understand)

You can unlock from the three-dot menu in the List View or via the block toolbar itself:

Would this make sense? I am going to close this as "cannot repro" but please feel free to re-open it if this was not what you meant. Thank you

Hi @mrfoxtalbot - this happens within the "Pages" section of the Site Editor (in the individual pages), instead of the Page Template, which I'm assuming is where you were when recording the video!

A similar case would be the "Navigation" section. If you go to Navigation → click on the three vertical dots next to the menu name → click on "Edit" the order of the navigation items are locked and cannot be removed.

Here are example videos of both cases:
