For my own understanding: Where would we release the lock otherwise? Through trackedPort.db.close()?
I don't have a good mental model of how we're sharing connections here, but I'm worried about whether it's possible for us to release the shared connection here and someone else then re-obtaining the lock on a different connection? (so we'd have two of them when it sounds like we probably only want to have one).
If the lock is only held to avoid the tab being put to sleep as the comment suggests, why aren't we just requesting a randomly-named lock?

You are the second person to suggest this. I think you're spot on here.

In some cases for web with multiple tabs support enabled, multiple 'connect()` calls in a single tab happening in succession can cause a navigator lock to be stuck in an unreleased state. This blocks the sync worker from getting a connection and syncing/connecting breaks.
Two typical scenarios that can cause this is switching client parameters and React's StrictMode which does multiple calls of hooks like useEffect.
