Ah yes, because everything that doesn't solve every problem imaginable is instantly worthless. Sorry for the snark, but I'm getting tired of the pervasive cynicism. The situation got so much better since tpm and fde got commonplace. Laptop thieves no longer get your data, people no longer unwillingly expose their data when they sell their used disks, boot loader attacks got from easy to almost impossible. Yes, the CIA will still be able to read your disk, and maybe even just a motivated hacker. But that doesn't mean everything is useless.
