   In a professional environment veracrypt is an anachronism. IT depts want to   
   be able to manage the many hundreds and thousands of machines they maintain   
   through policy and central administrative systems.   
      
   Thus, with bitlocker they can remote wipe machines and if a staff member   
   has somehow locked themselves out of their machine the encryption key can   
   be restored.   
      
   They do not want to have to manage each machine manually. Nor do they want   
   users to install their own shadow systems either.   
      
   In the workplace staff have no right to privacy so this is all moot anyway.
