So, this means Microsoft has copies of every single bitlocker key, meaning that a bad actor could obtain them... Thereby making bitlocker less than worthless, it's an active threat.
MS really speedrunning worst possible software timeline

They don't have a copy of every single Bitlocker key. They do have a copy of your Bitlocker key if you are dumb enough to allow it to sync with your Microsoft account, you know, "for convenience."

Don't use a Microsoft account with Windows, even if you are forced to use Windows.

Literally fix the anticheat problem and I’ll uninstall.

The anticheat problem already is fixed. It's called "don't play games that don't support your choices". These days, no game is worth being put through all that AI bullshit.

Not the case for me, definitely worth it for some games

Kinda sad to read, but well. Makes you fit in with the majority of the population.
