Yes, but this is the same kind of cost as, say, switching from an OO to a functional design, and we don't normally refer to "choosing to use OO" as "vendor lock-in". This phrase is normally reserved for use when there is a vendor that one must pay in order to continue to use a service, not merely cases where there is some difficulty or annoyance involved in changing something.
