MacRumors reports Restoring a Bricked iMac Pro Requires a Second Mac and Configurator 2:
"If an iMac Pro becomes unresponsive and requires restoring, like if there's a power failure during a software update, there are a special set of instructions iMac Pro users must follow, which require a secondary Mac."
As outlined in an Apple Configurator 2 support page, an iMac Pro restore requires a second Mac running macOS High Sierra with internet access and Apple Configurator 2.6 or later installed.
[...] This restore process is similar to what must be done for an iPhone or iPad that is unresponsive, and it is necessary due to the extra security afforded by the Apple-designed T2 chip ... [which] integrates the system management controller, image signal processor for the camera, audio controller, SSD controller, a Secure Enclave, and a hardware encryption engine.

Sorry, but you should rather say "It's great if you're in certain parts of California". And even then you're wrong, because the Apple stores are inconvenient to get to and expensive. Shiny, I'll grant.

Apple is very politically correct, but they didn't forget the Republican parts of California. They have stores in Orange County, where I held a beautiful, beautiful rally. They have one in Fresno, people love me there, I felt like I was in Harrisburg. Tremendous rally in Fresno, from where we get a lot of our fruits & vegetables. And nuts. They have a store in Temecula, I have huge support in Temecula, my supporters held a terrific rally at the Duck Pond. Without me, I wish I'd been there. Maybe I'll go there. And there's an Apple store in Sacramento, I have my campaign headquarters in Sacramento. Because it's the capital. But also because I have fabulous support there.
Let me tell you, the folks in California are doing a very smart thing. They're splitting it into three states. Splitting it before the big earthquake splits it. Into Northern California, Southern California, and California. Two of which will be very, very solidly Republican. And all of which will have plenty of Apple stores. They have to make money, they're in business to make money. And having a lot of stores costs a lot of money.
California has a good number of Apple stores. But what about, as I said, our heartland? What about Puerto Rico and our Virgin Islands? What about Saipan? What about the CNMI? What about Guam? I haven't forgotten them. I just signed what we call the NDAA, it's going to be tremendous for the economy of Guam. To bring in 4,000 workers from other countries with what we call H-2B visas. To spend $355 million on our military INFRASTRUCTURE on Guam. To make it PERFECTO. So our people on Guam will be protected from LITTLE ROCKET MAN. Who, as you know, has been threatening them a lot. Believe me, it's going to be very safe, one of the safest places in the entire world. And Apple will be very foolish if they don't put in a store. Very foolish. 🇺🇸
