Everyone has different security needs. But (maybe it's different on Windows), what's hard about popping the disk to another machine and then decrypting it with the key? Does Windows not give you access to the key?

Many normie users not only get locked out of their laptops but they also forget their Microsoft account password causing complete loss of data.
Why would anyone want to encrypt their data and then hand their private key to anyone is mind boggling.
Microsoft was once made "intermediate" or "power user" possible. I know many tech literate GenXs and millenials who were able to learn to do relatively complicated things with computers, even when they could outsource the job to others. Now Microsoft is in the same bandwagon to shove crappy undone and idiotic software riddled with ads. It generates better revenue than designing better interfaces that educate the users while not looking down upon them.
Personally I would not encrypt a whole disk, only the files I actually care about protecting.
