You can still manually disable encryption if desired.

      That number was only for random write performance. And if you have an SSD that supports TCG Opal and eDrive standard (IEEE-1667) for hardware based bitlocker encrytion then there is no negative speed impact.

      Yeah it would only be that slow if you don’t have a CPU with AES-NI instructions (which were introduced nearly a decade and a half ago)

      like every other OS has for the last decade or so.

      No desktop OS does, (Excepting the odd Linux distro I’m sure is out there), not even macOS does.

      iOS/Android yes

          True, the system partition is, but not where actual user data is. That won’t be encrypted unless the user enables FileVault, granted it does ask during initial setup if you sign in to iCloud if you do want to enable it, but it’s default is off
