I bet this was between 2018 and 2022? Yeah, that used to be the case, not anymore though, there's literally a big fat "Setup Console Offline"-button on the latest firmwares (since at least a year back I want to say), if you somehow find one with older firmware you can simply boot it into recovery mode and update firmware before setting it up for use.
