Doesn't make any sense to me. The reason to get a per-user encryption
sounds useful in order to reduce the leaking of user data when we have
multiple users per device. /home only encryption protects whom?

An attacker with access to the disk can install malware and put it in
auto start. So there is no real protection here. When we encrypt `/home`
we can encrypt the rest as well.

But feel free to share the thread model with me, where `/home`-only
encryption makes sense :)

Um that's a pretty good point....
