"However, the BitLocker key is always synced to the Microsoft account (MSA)."
Welp, that's true ONLY for the primary drive the OS is installed on. If other drives are encrypted and the key is lost, well...

Windows user experience is becoming terrible: new problems like this are popping up every week.
Yesterday I updated the BIOS because a large Lenovo pop-up kept asking me to do so. When I restarted, it told me that PIN login isn't available and I could only log in with password. I tried changing the PIN, but the problem persists, and for some reason the option to completely disable PIN login is greyed out.
Now I can only log in with password, and since 2FA is enabled I need to input a code that I get by email each time I log in. This happens not only when I start the computer, but also when I lock the screen.
I bought this computer brand new 3 months ago...

You need to access your emails, before logging into your computer? What kind of circular dependency is that?

Yes, it's for 2FA. Fortunately I can do it on the phone.

So your computer is an extension of your phone. I wouldn't like that, I think it should be the other way around.
I would be scared for the day I loose my phone password, or my phone.
