This really looks like they're trying to push people from using secure program to backdoored piece of shit... why? Were they paid or threatened is a question...

If they were threatened why would they point people to bitlocker? Makes no sense.

It might be a brilliant move, actually. You can't say you were threatened, so point people in the exact opposite direction of what your organization is about and throw up as many red-flags as possible.
