From your article:
I'm pretty sure it just uses BitLocker under the hood and doesn't let you configure some things:

Just checked an 11 Home computer that has Device Encryption turned on:
Get-BitLockerVolume reports that it is on for the main drive with RecoveryPassword and Tpm protectors.
It's definitely just a rebranded, less featured BitLocker.
