Brother, you are completely misunderstanding me and starting to argue here.
"I don't disable SIP. Why do you think you need to. If you regularly need to disable SIP you should run Linux or some other unprotected operating system." I do not care, what you need to do with your Mac, stop personalizing it to your needs. There are reasons why I use Mac over Linux but telling me to shooo is uh??? I simply use Yabai, and I sometimes I feel like reinstalling my OS. Therefore I need to partially disable SIP for the couple of features it gives that I would like.
"Why are you waiting. There's no reason to wait. You can even just hold it down. No intuition needed." - This doesn't work for me. Its shutdown, I hold it and nothing happens? I recall it not working for me, I'm happy if its as simple as holding it down for you.
"Press one button, then press another or press one button. Seems indisputably easier to just use the one button." -what???? no its not. Because you know, you might shut it down on accident, oops.
"If it has never started up, it won't cause any damage to anything." - arrogance, you use the power button while it boots. If the recovery thing 'menu' does not pop up, you force shutdown while that operating system is starting, therefore, you can potentially corrupt data.
"What menu are you trying to access? Do you mean Recovery? That's not a menu." - you know what I mean? Idk what it would be then, I don't know the specific terminology sorry.
"Press one button, then press another or press one button. Seems indisputably easier to just use the one button." - No. Hold down Ctrl+D for instance, while it boots or rebooting, 100% guaranteed to work. Now, I heard the power button is being used for security purposes, doesn't have to be the power button tho. (maybe internal hardware, which still begs the question of why the power button)
"Why do you need to disable SIP to change your OS. You can create numerous APFS volumes with different OS versions. You can create virtual machines with different OS versions. What are you doing when you switch that requires you disable SIP" - reinstalling my main work machine.
"I have no idea why it is so difficult for you to do. There's nothing to defend. It just isn't a problem." For you! And I'm glad! Sorry to get you fussed about it, its best we stop talking about a pretty small petty problem. 24 unsafe shutdowns isn't something to not call a problem, it's not as if I wasn't trying to figure it out, I'm just scared now to access the menu.
I'm not about to start a full debate on an Apple form, this'll be my last response.
