@BitBun the problem is that APFS does something weird to the drive and Disk Utility is legitimately a piece of shit. It somehow detect the drive and shows it to you how it wants you to see it instead of actually showing the drive. So basically, you end up with two drives in an incompatible version, one you can wipe and another you can't. You wipe the one you can and try to install but... error. All because the thing is misdesigned. On purpose, probably

Otherwise you get the same issue if you did split the drive for the built in Windows installer. If you wipe the Mac without removing the Windows partition, Disk Utility actually has 0 ways to recover the Windows partition?????? It did in the bootcamp menu, but you wiped the mac partition!

It's stupid
