it is pretty much applicable to all devices using the default BitLocker “Device Encryption” setup, as this configuration relies solely on Secure Boot to automatically unseal the disk during boot.

That is, only the default "transparent" bitlocker mode. If you have any other additional protection (pin, password) set it doesn't affect you.

Why would anyone use the "transparent" mode? Seems rather pointless.

People who prefer that much convenience vs security.
