Or, in case of failure, just enable loading the fricking EFI bios from an alternative source. It's amazing the kind of nonsense people write because it's an Apple thing - machines have been able to boot diskless for very obvious reasons and requirements ever since the 8 MiB memory chip, but in 2021 we should go without that?

The amount of justifications for horrid design and engineering choices always touches the extremes when it's about Apple products.
