Bitlocker is only available in Pro, Enterprise and Education and it is off by default in all editions.

Although that is contrary to Google's findings for the most part, I am glad to hear the truth here.
I have Windows 11 Pro 21H2 and is off by default as it should then be.
Would you advise leaving it as is for an average user?
Thank you
