   One problem with the protection placed on Home, is users   
   not being aware it is present.   
      
   That's a pretty big issue.   
      
   Encryption involves a cost:benefit analysis. If   
   a given implementation is mostly cost, and no benefit,   
   why is it even there ?

   Either don't use encryption, or design your own encryption   
   scheme that meets your requirements. If that means upgrading   
   to Pro as a solution, then fine, disable the Home version   
   of encryption, then do the Upgrade. Or, go with Veracrypt   
   or something similar.   
      
   When an OS has strange policies, you're pretty well forced   
   to stay on top of every subsystem :-/
