Hmm, I read this a few times but still not sure what the technical objection is. Yes, the entire disk is encrypted with the same key, but why is that insufficient to protect things? Anyone care to guess what they are thinking here?

Who breaks into a DC and steals a rack of disks or SSDs?  Very, very few evil-doers.
Who hacks into networks and exfiltrates data over the wire?  Many hackers.
