Macs with T2, M1 chips cannot be restored to factory state without contacting to Apple over the Internet sneak.berlin/20201204/on-tr… Apple no longer make computers. Newer macs are glorified iPhones with keyboard and screen ;) LOL. 
For most Mac users, this is not a problem as it is the middle path between security & usability. These are edge cases mentioned in the blog post. Apple still is the best certified Unix systems that end users can buy for day-to-day stuff like office work, web surfing, programming.
Others who need total control over their computer can switch to Linux/BSD. Win10 is not an option as it is equally bad, even with the bastardized version of Linux/WSL. MS started to love Linux to stay relevant, especially developers whose server workload runs mostly on Linux.YMMV
Developers/Power users, if you are going to use Linux for ML, AI, Docker, K8S and KVM etc, try independent Linux desktop/laptop vendors such as System76/Tuxedo/Pine64, and others. No need to give money to Lenovo or Dell. Support independent vendors. Vote with your wallet.
