For good reason I think.  Being able to lock the SYS account would be a
very bad thing.

If one does the RTFM thing one will find that SYS is immune to any and
all restrictions by default.  Therefore things like restricting idle
time via a profile don't work, nor does locking the account or expiring
the password.  Granted it's buried & not easy to find, but it's been
that way for a very LONG time.

Kicking your client out of the business perhaps?
