lol...I'm not laughing at you, I just remember those days. I will try to explain the best I can. This would go waaay beyond installing non market apps.

An unlocked bootloader would let you install stock Android, custom ROM's easier, (modified OS's) and custom kernels. Some functionality may need a custom kernel. An easier way to overclock the kernel and help with battery life at the same time. Or you can just go for a kernel to help with battery life.

Its sorta like modding, overclocking a PC.
