I guess that most people who use security features of Microsoft products only do so to tick compliance checkboxes and they really don't give a fuck about actual security.
Which makes me think, it's becoming more and more urgent to make an open source mobile OS happen.
Businesses use Microsoft because they figure if it’s backdoored it doesn’t matter and won’t affect them (because they aren’t terrorists or child pornographers or whatever, and they’d comply with a subpoena regardless of if Bitlocker is backdoored or not) and individuals who care about security and privacy put their shit on a Veracrypt drive somewhere else.
