Because it doesn’t matter to most people outside of a business setting. Forgetting your password and losing your backup key is a bigger risk especially some backup drive of pictures/videos.
- im3w1l 6y agoI think best practices will emerge eventually, that strike a balance. Like having a password but writing it down and putting it in an offsite safe deposit box. Or maybe something based on shamir's secret sharing. We need to see a lot of failures (both failing open and closed) and do postmortems before one strategy is recognized as winner, that's what I believe.

Actually, macOS and Windows don't even allow you to enable disk encryption, without either storing the password in a cloud/filesystem, or printing it out. Of course, this doesn't help you if the police or the government is after you, but that's irrelevant for 99,99+% of people.
