My point is that I understand that, I'm not expecting the system restrict itself in any way shape or form, this is par for the course in many places around the world where no quarter can be expected from the authorities. They can't continue to compel you for more and more passphrases for more and more encrypted shadow volumes that they're not even aware actually exist, this is what it eventually reduces down to.

The point is, they can. If you're in some place run by a dictator they can do whatever the hell they want to you, including torturing you until you die.
Sure, but it's tactically useless, as they can't know if they're just applying useless pressure because they don't know how many layers of shadow volumes there are to penetrate. So yes, they can be pricks, but to no discernible effect.
People in power have never been short on excuses for abuses thereof, this aspect of this issue is just another in a huge ocean of existing valid and arbitrary ones.
