If someone finds your phone can't they just tear it apart and read the storage with external tools?

that's not the problem that BL locking solves. this is solved by storage encryption. BL locking solves 2 other problems:

  • helps keeping stolen phone from being wiped, though maybe it's not 100%
  • makes it much harder to plant malware on your phone while it's not with you
