Do the average Windows user really need BitLocker device encryption? They don’t. The only users who need BitLocker are business’ and government workers.
Also 99% of Windows users are going to get locked out of their computers.
And no, 99% of Windows users aren’t going to get locked out.
99% of Windows boxes are business boxes, which already are encrypted (and if they aren’t, that’s some bad IT).
This really only affects Home users, who don’t enable encryption because they don’t know any better. I have no doubt we’ll see quite a few people have issues because they lose their key and can’t recover their data. This is why MS should provide clear directions during setup about storing the key. Instead they’re going to keep it in people’s OneDrive/365 account. Such a bad idea. Now I’ve gotta write documentation for friends and family about what NOT to do during setup.

Okay. You need to write documentation for your friends and family, but Microsoft have clear directions.
