Hasn't this been discussed multiple times? Microsoft tends to backup your key because the majority base doesn't understand how encryption works. When an average person thinks of passwords, they think there is a way to reset it. Good luck explaining to your grandma why all her favorite photos disappeared when she forgot the password.

This atleast acts like a door for an otherwise open house. Advanced users can use another encryption or do what the article suggests to not sent the key to Microsoft.
