You have to be pretty blatant and intentional to disable encryption, if you just coast through then FileVault will be enabled, at least as I understand.
Another perspective is it's great Apple doesn't force encryption 100% of the time. There are situations where you wouldn't want it -- very niche ones, granted, but I think the choice is a good thing.

- spijdar 6y agoI'd say yes, albeit only if it's "available" and not something you could accidentally enable, or could be enabled through sabotage. Having an unencrypted device could make it easier to reverse-engineer, improving consumer control and ownership of the device. Obviously not really Apple's shtick, but I think the choice is good, so long as you have to very specifically ask to disable encryption.
