To protect against casual theft of a device causing the data to be in the thief’s hands in addition to the actual device.
The average person unfortunately is not likely to properly backup their encryption keys so if they forget their password (or don’t use one and rely on the default of just TPM), they’ll complain about losing their data. Having the key backed up gives them a way to get their data back in non-theft situations.
I like how people on lemmy seem to only think of the high stakes state sponsored theft. And not the theft that’s thousands of times more common.
Yeah. Most theft targets the hardware, not the data within.
Ok, I can saw value in that but why mandatory? While most doesn’t backup their keys, I do and I don’t need MS help.
On top of the reason the top level comment gave (easy for law enforcement) it also allows for better data collection (linking your activity to your account, no matter where, how or when it is recorded)
