What? Bitlocker key tied to MS account and mandatory? What’s the point of encryption if the key isn’t secret any more?
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.
It’s secret to most, not all.
