Well, you obviously have never used BitLocker. The first thing they ask you when you activate BitLocker is to pick one of 3 options:

  1. Link to Microsoft Account.

  2. Save to a File

  3. Print Recovery Key (so you can write it down on a piece of paper or whatever)

There’s no “railroading”. There’s plenty of real things to not like Microsoft. No need to make them up.
