Not these days. FDE is so common and easy to use now, it might well have been an option you blindly hit upon install. And that's just in consumer environments.

Not these days. FDE is so common and easy to use now, it might well have been an option you blindly hit upon install. And that's just in consumer environments. In corporate environments, in any company with a half-decent infosec department, all employees' computers will simply be required to have FDE, regardless of what they do on the computers.

You may think it's all over at that point, but there's different levels of secrecy, and it'd be better that the attacker cannot even know that a further level exists beyond.
