> Claiming users weren’t using the encryption feature, and therefore that encryption is unnecessary, is of course a disingenuous argument on Amazon’s part. Users also hate using strong passwords — is Amazon going to encourage users to ditch those too? I think it's TechCrunch that's being disingenuous here. Disk encryption is a feature, and has performance, maintenance and UX costs, unlike allowing strong passwords.
