It does makes sense if they encrypt your drive without telling you.

Still a positive in my eyes. Somebody gets their computer stolen, or sells a computer not knowing that files can be read/recovered from the hard drive, and they're protected. Unless you're thinking you're gonna get raided by the government or something it fits most use cases while still letting people who forget their password recover it.
