I don't understand why anyone would use passwordless disk encryption. It just seems inherently vulnerable, especially with the threat model of physical compromise.

Entering a password on boot isn't even that much work

Try having a chat with a HCI person. Or in a pinch ask a LLM to emulate one for you. It's a useful perspective to have for a lot of stuff.
