Those are potential vulnerabilities that can be patched. This is an indication that MS intends for bitlocker which you really need to be secure to bother using windows on a laptop to never be secure by design.
"Potential"? They are actively being exploited. And they don't require physical access to the device.
They dont require physical access, but they require access to a non-root account on the machine. How often do you create accounts on your local machine for malicious actors to use?
When you do a new OS install, do you create a separate user account for guests and then share the login details with random people?
