That is impressive. However, if you have physical access to the RAM, you can probably also just pop in a live USB, chroot into the system and do whatever you want. Regardless, this injection was interesting and impressive. Hats off to a clever hacker like that.
Yeah, it's wild to me that desktop operating systems don't encrypt storage by default. Both iOS and Android do.
I'd guess it's because encryption adds overhead and slows things down. It's also overkill for most people's needs, since the chance to get their PC stolen isn't worth the performance impact
Should definitely be default on Laptops though
The overhead is negligible since modern desktop CPUs have included AES hardware acceleration for a long time by now
