doing hardware encryption is not doing encryption right. the user is prone to end with encryption that has unpatchable security issues. of course that it is faster, but if I'm doing encryption speed is not a concern. I just wanted to keep it secure. And software encryption let's me choose the software and algorithm to do that. Apple doesn't.
You aren't who they are making computers for. They want fast encryption, not something customizable like Linux.
Apple's philosophy is "it just works." Not "yeah it works eventually after you figure out what kind of encryption you want and compromise speed for the sake of security."
Like I get what you are saying. For a power user, it is not ideal. But for most people, Apple's hardware solution is fantastic.
