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.
All we can do is try. If we warned them and they still don’t do it, well you just can’t fix stupid and it’s not our problem anymore, plus they have bigger issues if they can’t read. That’s still better than doing nothing. And still better than not having device encryption IMO.

I consider that a separate issue.
