For example, I put embedded computers on drones and the first thing I do is have to figure out how to get power in that avoids the barrel jack which will almost certainly vibrate itself out. On the Pi (and most boards) that means direct power via the expansion header, but usually that means making a daughter board PCB with a suitable connector plus input protection (fuse, diode, etc). Not industrial, but any situation where you don't want to provide mains power, and you want a reliable connection means avoiding the jack.

Can you desolder the barrel connector and put on a locking molex or something?

You can, but that's irritating to do. In the case of the Pi there is no barrel connector, it's a USB port. So your only option is the header, either directly into the holes if its unpopulated, or get a 40-way female header and solder to that, or go for a daughter board.
