I would think the other side of this is "if you try to boot another OS one day, surprise, you didn't know the disc was encrypted and can't access any of your files."
That screams anti-competitive behaviour to me-- how many people would stop their "let's try Linux" experiment if you can't mount your existing drive to access previous data?

Microsoft doesn't need disk encryption to keep Linux from gaining traction. Linux is already doing a pretty good job for them.
