So, the good news is that your stolen laptop can be decrypted. Nice. That’s the main argument for bitlocker, so your stolen laptop can’t be decrypted.

If you turn off the recovery environment Bitlocker works as expected.
It is really bad but not impossible to mitigate

One can only hope that they actually see the light, but my bet is it would be way too expensive (in terms of money and willingness to retrain) to switch to Linux and they'll just shrug and continue. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Schleswig-Holstein (germany) has moved entire gov workforce (ca. 40k people) off of sharepoint, outlook, office, onedrive. And now start to move from windows to linux. Slow, steady, training and helping all the way. Material generated for this gan also used by other state if want.
Ich liebe es.
