Is Bitlocker the most "nobody-asked-for-this" software "solution"?

Am stuck in a loop because my AD account in my admin panel doesn't shown a recovery key. Trying every trick I can find online but no luck so far. Waiting to hear back from Microsoft.
Laptop less than a month old, never prompted to create recovery key. Bitlocker works automatically and you can't turn it off once the drive is locked.
WTFITS?

No that would be Windows Vista

If you are the person who enabled Bitlocker on your computer, it always prompts to save the recovery key via Print or save to USB.
If you are not the person who enabled it...it sounds like could've been enabled via group policy. For example, I force Bitlocker with group policy via Azure Active Directory on all company laptops/workstations. It automatically starts encrypting the drive when I join a device to the Azure AD and saves the recovery key to the Azure Admin Dashboard.

Anytime I have purchased a computer with bitlocker preinstalled and activated, the bitlocker key could be found by logging into your microsoft account online.
Is that not working for you?

Bitlocker is actually critical these days for
corporate security. If your laptop gets stolen and bitlocker is not activated, the thief just has to either remove the hard drive and attach it to a reader, or use a Linux distribution with chntpw to remove the local admin password. Then your files are compromised. If bitlocker were enabled on the stolen laptop, the thief is more than likely left with an expensive paperweight unless they replace the hard drive entirely.

Without vista we wouldn't have win10

This is true and the only good thing Vista has going for it.
