not everyone is tech-savvy like folks on Lemmy. you can tell that to your grandma or your parents to do that to do regular backup. That is why it could cause a headache for repair business
They could add some kind of message that warns about this, but I think it’s a better idea to encrypt by default (warning or not) rather than not… at least for privacy reasons.
IMO OS vendors pushing for full disk encryption is light years better than simply shrugging and saying “well people might be dumb so we shouldn’t do it at all”.
Maybe educating people about backups (in general) is a better approach than being averse to increasing security/privacy.
I still prefer MS pushing updates to people that never update vs the alternative of them getting viruses and such all the time. I just wish there was an easier way for advanced users to turn it off permanently, but it’s still not impossible so I still prefer this to people not updating at all.
No but they’re taking it to repair shops who then find that they can’t recover their customers data because it’s encrypted and then they lose al their photos and data they never backed up, because they’re not tech-savvy.
Windows does not let you store the recovery key on an encrypted drive.
The rest only means, we need to deal better with our data. All the above basically also applies when you HDD or SSD dies, which can happen any time.
Backups is what you need, not an unencrypted drive.

Non tech-savvy folks aren’t transplanting their hard drives in the first place.

I consider that a separate issue.
