How so?

If you're a Windows shop, Bitlocker has been available to you since 2008.

If you're a Red Hat shop, Clevis + Tang has made this a no brainer since 2014.

If you have lots of money and run your root filesystems via FC or iSCSI from NetApp filers, then NSE has been around for close to 20 years now.
