Because it’s so unpleasant, it’s more of a last resort than a first step. It’s not difficult, though, and knowing how to use recovery mode is useful if you ever need it.
Note this, just because you can boot your iPhone into recovery mode on an older model doesn’t mean it will work on your current phone.
Depending on the iPhone model you have, the method will vary.
Recovery mode has the advantage of being pre-configured for your iPhone (device model) and not altering with your iOS software upgrades.
So if you recently updated iOS 15 on your iPhone 11, the recovery mode would remain the same as it was before you installed iOS 14.

Device Firmware Update mode is somewhat more difficult to access, but it will frequently force a restoration even if nothing happens.
