I tried to help someone who had a Windows update freeze for several _days_, and after force rebooting the PC it bluescreened and went to a BitLocker recovery screen, and he had no recovery keys in any of his accounts, and all data was lost.

I think it's absurd this kind of thing would be enabled by default without very explicit warnings about the possible reprucussions of not backing up your recovery keys
