Well, encryption only protects you against one information loss vector
(data at rest). There are many other ways to lose your data, and saying
that you "CAN'T" protect your data because Bitlocker is missing is
incorrect.

That said, there's a tradeoff. If you lock yourself out of a
bitlocker-ed machine, you're SoL. The support issues would be enormous
for Microsoft dealing with poorly run SOHO type outfits that accidently
enable Bitlocker without doing the necessary planning around key
escrow/backup.

Cheers
