I believe that's slightly misleading. Enabling LUKS on Linux would require a re-format, but there are ways to encrypt only your home folder without a re-format, which is all macOS does.

I think FileVault 2 [1] has been doing full-disk encryption, not just the home folder, since OS X Lion.

Yeah, but I have a lot of stuff outside my home folder. Including /etc/passwd.
