That's the point, Martin, the article is not aimed to company devices/users, is aimed to average people. So encrypting isn't basic, most of people don't do it. 
So it's maybe a good idea to add that advise with a couple of words about why is good. 

IMHO setting up encryption at install time in Fedora is super easy (just a checkbox, then type in your password)
Adding a section as to why encrypting your laptop is a good idea (as well as a strong user password) is probably a worthwhile addition. IMHO.

Desktop team does a great job indeed.  Using Fedora is gets better

I understand you very well, what you don't understand is my point of
view.  To avoid using password and so, you need some knowledge that
most of thieves haven't.  If they had it, they would be working on IT
instead of robbing people.
I know it can be done, but the usual case is  "dude who sees a
valuable device, take it and goes away".
But could be a good idea adding your suggestion about encryption and
explaining a bit why is a good measure, just in case the hypothetical
thieve happens to have some knowledge. What do you think?

I guess the home dir encryption is rather basic as it's usually mandatory for company owned devices, no mater if you run Windows/Linux or whatever else.
