Maybe it comes from the lead and cadmium...

The Pro market and office subscriptions (and selling user data) far out way the losses of losing a few consumer class customers.

I work in a repair store.

NO customer ever knows their drive is Bitlocker or Filevault encrypted. NONE.

I'm on board with encryption for consumer protection, but Microsoft and Apple do a horrid job of explaining what they are doing to your data. They want you using their cloud services. So encrypting your drive with auto cloud backup becomes kinda a sneaky maneuver.

If they just explained things better I'd be fully on board with this. But no one understands why I can't get their data from a dead machine with an encrypted drive. And good luck remembering your Microsoft or iCloud password and finding your recovery keys.

My brother works for animal control. He gets a lot of calls about cats "stuck" in trees.

His favorite response is "have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?"

That and of course oil, gas, and other fluids now leaked into the environment.
