That happens with Veracrypt as well. I have plenty of friends and family who can't remember their WiFi password without remembering where it was written down, and they use that far more often than an encryption recovery code.

In fleets users wouldn't even be setting up their own code.

I've installed Windows thousands of times on dozens, probably hundreds of systems - long ago I even worked on the Windows team and was installing it every day - and in the last 20 years (yes, I ran Vista Ultimate in 2006) I've had to deal with Bitlocker recovery prompts perhaps 20 times - not 20 times per machine, 20 times across all of them.
