The problem was that

But that was 2018; the result was that in 2019 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/september-24-2019-... happened:
> Changes the default setting for BitLocker when encrypting a self-encrypting hard drive. Now, the default is to use software encryption for newly encrypted drives. For existing drives, the type of encryption will not change.
And in any event, I would tend to argue that the matter of reselling is secondary: The problem is that the affected disks are effectively unencrypted, and that's a problem regardless. If your disks are properly encrypted, then reselling them should be safe.
This is incorrect and not how Bitlocker operates at all. Bitlocker doesn't operate with self encrypted drives, instead the encryption happens on the OS level.
