Cloud providers don't store stuff in a literal cloud, so it follows that they too must worry about their own physical devices. If you agree that FDE is good for physical access to lost/stolen devices and cryptographic erasure, I'm not sure why you don't think that applies to hardware in a data center which is just as capable as being lost/stolen, and also needs to be securely disposed of. >But expecting it to do anything else is just magical thinking. It certainly does more than just check boxes for SOC, which was my entire point.
