Comment 13 for bug 1773457

Phillip, I think that you need to take this discussion to somewhere like Ubuntu Forums.

If we were to accept your argument, we would say that there is no point whatsoever in encrypting anything, and we should eliminate the current option to encrypt the home folder when installing Ubuntu.

This approach violates, among others, the EU's GDPR.

We do need to encrypt our computers, and encrypting absolutely everything to help prevent malware is the best possible way forward.

Full-system encryption is possible (there is already a how-to for this), and it should be implemented as there is very little to do to make it available in the default installer.

We shall have to beg to differ on this, as your argument is unsuitable given the current technical, social and especially legal environment.
