It's been 20 years since Microsoft cryptographer Niels Ferguson said "Over my dead body" about a BitLocker backdoor. But the very next line of that blog post was "Well, maybe not literally---I’m not ready to be a martyr quite yet---but certainly not in any product I work on" and he doesn't work there anymore 🤔

(Ferguson was also one of the cryptographers who pointed out the backdoor-enabling design of NIST's Dual_EC_DRBG in 2007, six years before the Snowden disclosures confirmed that NIST did indeed backdoor it on behalf of the NSA.)
