On one hand you have massive data loss, a big issue for sure but something well understood, well known, that you can and should be prepared against in any case; you're never protected against: your computer being run over, or your house being on fire, or your HD suddenly dying. If I lose files by lack of backup, I can be angry at myself for not having done proper backups, whatever the source of the deletion, this is something I can remedy.

On the other you have giving access to your data to people who shouldn't have access, be it making them root, giving your encryption password in the hint field, ... You're not prepared against that, you have no mitigation and no remedy other than picking the right tool; either the tool you're using is secure or it is not.

Better everything gets deleted than someone not meant to have access getting it. And better something happens that I could insure myself against, than something against which I cannot do anything to protect myself.
