But you need a recovery key to begin with, because the main key is sealed in
the TPM and not visible from anything other than Windows.
So Bitlocker essentially forces Windows on you.
Bitlocker is part of Windows. Sure, cryptsetup supports it, but if you
are using cryptsetup already maybe stick with LUKS2?

Sure. Really sad though that we have to work around a broken piece of
"security" software that effectively functions like a ransomware.
Where is the outcry about this misfeature?
Not here, thankfully. This is fedora-devel, I consider name-calling
other operating systems to be offtopic here.
