macOS Monterey shipped with a firmware that could (soft) brick T2-based devices. You needed a 2nd mac to recover it: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/03/17/macos-monterey-bricking-macs-logic-boards/ https://www.macrumors.com/2022/03/17/macos-monterey-bricking.... Note that unlike said macOS bug this one isn't in a stable operating system release. It's the equivalent of finding a bug in the macOS Ventura alpha. How else was this bug supposed to get fixed if not by people running the latest kernel and finding said bug?
