It's trivial to restore from a Time Machine backup (it wouldn't be much use if it wasn't).

Time Capsule was discontinued in 2018. I am not sure I want to trust Qnap or Synology on my TimeCapsule backup for Security Reason. I dont have another Mac to do Backup. And dont want anything to do with iCloud or iCloud backup / restore is very slow even with 1Gbps Internet connection.

How is a customer suppose to backup and wipe their devices?

Just plug a USB/Thunderbolt drive in. The first thing macOS does is ask you if you want to use it for backups.

Those top at 2.8GB/s these days, so about 6 theoretical minutes for 1TB drive. In reality it's probably more of a half hour?

Have you tried recently? Phone icloud backups are even worse.

Yes, it was fine. If you are in a hurry you can even boot from a Time Machine backup.
