BitLocker provides for a recovery key. This is to allow someone to regain access to an encrypted device in the event that they lose their PIN, any one of these scenarios happen, OR when suspects do not want to cooperate with LEOs.

Find your BitLocker recovery key

If the target device is part of an enterprise and managed with EntraId/Intune this is the option. Escrowed keys.

Given that these same objecting companies have had tens of thousands of Indian developers, with source code access for iOS and Android, on their payrolls for decades now ... I am not sure why they would suddenly be worried about this now.
