I really don't care if Scribus allows you to open a file more than once
or not, even if I canot think of a good reason why somebody would
deliberately do that.

If it wants to stop you, there are several methods:
1) Silent refusal (emacs)
2) Loud refusal (Excel)
3) Allow only read-only copies (Word)

Again, I don't care.

However, if it allows you to open a file more than once, it should
give you a warning before it lets you go ahead. That is my only
requirement.
