I've worked at a few places where windows was the default machine (including for IT) and macs were only issued when requested or required. A lot of times the IT folks are forced to use a macbook simply because they need one to recover and reset their fleet of macbooks. I've also seen companies forced to ship a whole new mac out to employees in locations without an apple store when a simple reset would have solved the problem. I think this sucks. People should be able to repair their mac without needing to own another one!
Thanks! Yep author here -- you can fully reformat with `restorekit restore` or just restore the firmware (retaining the user disk) with `restorekit revive`. This is what apple calls these two different actions, but it was a bit confusing to me to when I first started looking into this.
Open to any suggestions on how to make this clearer?

and it's only a little lower, in less prominent text,that it says:
> lets you fully wipe or restore a T2 or M series macbook
I think one is safe, one is dangerous, and it would be good to make the capability for both clear. I would personally put them in the order safe-then-dangerous in text, too, 'lets you restore (safe for user data) or fully wipe a T2 or M-series MacBook...'.
