But I have to imagine an issue that renders Macs unbootable would have been considered blocking, had Apple known about it.

It's an edge case with a workaround. P2 and definitely not enough to prevent a release.

Only 14/16-inch models where users have explicitly disable ProMotion and are desperate to boot into the RecoveryOS.

My understanding was that if you disable ProMotion you can become unable to boot into your main OS.

Like the other user said, this bug effects a much larger set of customers.

To ship this severity of bug in an X.6 release too is definitely very eyebrow raising.
