I mean.. with the amount of times Microsoft has just decided to BitLocker user drives without approval and then accidentally locked people out of it with bad updates, they should be offering bugs like this to the public via tools as a means to access their old Bitlocker-trapped files.

Good reminder that if you do ever have important files encrypted and lose access to them - put the files (or drive) aside if financially viable, it will likely become accessible in the near to mid-term future via incompetence/bugs/advances.
