Sorry if this is a stupid question, and maybe it's because I'm not understanding exactly what you're saying, but what's the benefit of encrypting if it decrypts on boot without a password?

Just to prevent someone who boots another OS on your device from being able to access your files? Something else?

Because changing any hardware will flip the tpm and require a password. If they stole the hard drive, it'd be encrypted. Basically I'm protecting on if they rip out the harddrive lol.
