Locke is boring because he's a new character with no history with the franchise on top of having no personality. Why do I care about this guy?
Chief also has no personality in the games, but we know Chief. We know what he did in the games, and we know that there were people around him that mattered to him. We get excited for a "Chief" Halo game because Master Chief is Halo.
You don't go to watch an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie because he's a good actor. You do it for the cheesy one liners and ass kicking.
Locke is the new guy trying to be Arnold and thus replacing him in the lead role, while Arnold makes a cameo.
Nobody wants Locke to be "another dull character", but that's what we got.
Because there's no point in arguing with circular logic. It's exhausting.
Why should I care about Chief? The games certainly haven't given me a reason to. Ah and here we go with the Chief is Halo argument again. Can't tell you how many times I've seen that despite how laughable such a claim is. Not even going to entertain it as that opens up an entirely new can of worms.
Either way, my point is don't cry about having to play as Locke because he's uninteresting and then cry because you aren't getting to play as Chief. Neither character is particularly interesting and neither character has gameplay that's entirely different than the other to warrant such a complaint. If you're playing for cheesy one-liners and ass kicking then every playable character in the Halo franchise delivers on those two aspects including Locke.
