If it's standard home users with their bitlocker key automatically backed up to onedrive via their microsoft account, big whoop. Should be expected.
If it's people who have no microsoft account and the key was backed up elsewhere, then it gets juicy.
Almost guaranteed you're better off using full disk encryption through something like veracrypt.

I remember reading somewhere at some point that all the BitLocker keys are sent to Microsoft. It's a perfectly fine tool to use for commercial settings, but for personal privacy settings, it should be considered compromised.
