Their charging infrastructure is pretty good lock in, especially if you install one of their chargers in your house.

At least here in Europe, they are using the same plug for charging as everyone else, so any other car can charge at a Tesla wallbox (and you can buy your wallbox by any supplier).

Once your house is wired for the charger, how hard/expensive is it really to swap it for a different one?

If you can do basic electrical wiring, you may still need to get a permit and have the change inspected. What exactly is needed is highly jurisdiction dependent.
If you are not handy, it requires hiring an electrician to make the change (~$100-500)
