I would think that one reason for this is that TPM is not nearly
as common in desktop models as in laptops and the best FDE leverages
TPM. In fact, you hear in many web forums, mailing lists, etc. how
TPM is not really even needed on desktop PCs anyway. But once TPMs
reach some critical mass on desktops, then FDE on desktops might start
becoming more common.
