It's a specious reason, and disengenous dissembly. There's nothing about encryption that precludes low-level duplication. This just something "you don't need"

This just something "you don't need" because they would rather shave another millimeter of the width, for the larger and more lucrative fashion-focused part of their customerbase.
- adt2bt 8y agoWhat? This isn’t about the size of the laptop. The 2018 model is the same size. The T2 chip on the logic board contains the decryption key for the SSD. Therefore, if the logic board breaks (and thus the T2), the data are irrecoverable. The design choice was either software encryption and data exfiltration port or hardware encryption and no port. They chose to add hardware encryption, so no port.
- simonh 8y agoWhat has this got to do with low level duplication? How would that mitigate encryption hardware failure?
