Obviously I'm not an Apple customer, but from reading hackernews comments when the M1 came out, I was reading people discussing that you couldn't do that. Or maybe I misunderstood the details but they were definitely complaining about backup methods for encrypted laptops. I would not trust Apple with all my data, which is essentially what you're doing if they have the key. Can you do a full-disk encrypted backup of your drive using only your own keys and not sending any data back to Apple? If you can, then I'm wrong. But "outright lie" is an uncharitable interpretation of my error. Lol, downvoted with no answers. Apple victims are a thin-skinned bunch.
