You've got a point there.

Anyway, any encryption where the key is stored on disk or anywhere else
in a form where it can be read by people is not encryption at all, it's
just marketing.

If you are actually concerned with having encryption that keeps people
out rather than keeps regulators happy then hardware encryption
solutions with adequate key management are the only real option.
