Could you imagine if every program storing sensitive data — which is quite a substantial portion of them — tried to reinvent the wheel like this? Word processors, email clients, chat programs etc all inventing their own substitute for good disk encryption or account security. A waste. The problem of securing data at rest is orthogonal in all these use cases. It is up to the OS. If that’s broken, fix it.
