This would be a huge problem for me, and I will not consider upgrading to Big Sur until it’s fixed. I currently create bootable backups of my Mac, the idea being that if the internal drive goes, I can switch to the backup while the machine is being repaired. I’ve had to resort to that on several occasions. I‘d honestly be pretty surprised if Apple eliminated bootable backups. It’s just too important. The fact that it’s a power-user feature should not be a disqualifier. Lots of Apple users fall into that category, and I think Apple already has some work ahead of it to restore good faith with those folks.
