> allegedly so they get to backup your BitLocker recovery keys

AKA so you can't really encrypt your own computer without someone else also be able to unlock said encryption "if they really have to".

Idk what happens on the backend, so I wont engage in conjecture on how safe it is, but keep in mind that BitLocker is not available for Home users at all in Win10 and enabling it by default in Win11 does increase the data safety of the average user quite a bit because a petty thief will not be able to get any data from the device.
