It's a locked bootloader without root access as shipped to us.
You can only shift around partitions like that on Linux with root access.
Android is Linux, so without root and unlocked resources, it behaves as Linux would.
And all properly configured Linux systems have multiple partitions (and for good reason).
You can't have the whole 16 GB any more than you can have the whole disk drive in Windows or Linux - the operating system has to go somewhere.
Caesar must always be paid.
