I disagree. Is locking your front door worthless security theater if a thief can just smash the window? Some actors are more opportunistic (or stupid) than others and not everyone can have (or wants) bars across their windows. Similarly, BitLocker with a TPM may not be impenetrable, but it does stop a kid from booting Hiren's and running ntpasswd to change the local admin password and install Roblox on mom's work laptop. Or the employee dumping the SSD of company data before leaving for a competitor. Not every security measure needs to address every threat entirely. This is why we have risk assessments and defense in depth. This exploit may change some people's calculations or it may still be worthwhile based on the balance of security to convenience. But that isn't worthless.
