Full disk encryption is only as good as the TPM and I’d imagine that nation states have plenty of exploits they could use to bypass them.

Not to mention cold boot attacks if the laptop was still running.

If they have the laptop, they also have the TPM. It doesn't prevent decryption if you have the TPM.
