In fact, in that case, hit locations reduce lethality because the damage done can not bring the location below destruction (minus starting value) and the THP taken is equal to the damage taken to the location. Of course, if the location is head, chest or abdomen, this is instant death.
So, for criticals, I agree, hit locations don't change anything.
