It's not a backdoor, Microsoft doesn't need a backdoor to bypass BitLocker because they can sign payloads that'll pass the TPM.

Why would it not be? Microslop doesn't need to make such a backdoor, but it's still a lot more convenient to make one generic backdoor than many signed ones.
They'd only need to make one payload that keeps the TPM happy, unlocks the disk and provides the files for export some way.

Far safer than a backdoor and no evidence.

But the slop in your comment here indicates you're arguing in bad faith.
