Due to Third Party Doctrine, Microsoft doesn't even NEED a "legal order." It's merely a courtesy which they could change at any time.

Based on the sheer number of third parties we're required to use for our day to day lives, that is ridiculous and Third Party Doctrine should be eliminated.

Is it the case with BitLocker? The voluntary part.

Sure. You voluntarily use windows. You could use something else or nothing so you chose to use it. You are not compelled to use it by law. You are just strongly compelled by a small carrot and a large stick. The same applies to a smart phone BTW.
