Curious why would someone prefer HFS+ over APFS?
by nerdsniper
I have a big external spinning HDD. Someone suggested creating an encrypted APFS partition, and put a single big file inside (mount it as unencrypted HFS+ image). Would this work? And would I still suffer from APFS's horrible HDD performance?

I wonder why they're removing support for encryption when clearly they have the code for it and still supporting the actual FS
