The instructions even go into troubleshooting for reformatting a drive, which is really digging in to helping a user complete a dangerous operation. If something goes wrong, the user can lose ALL of their data. Meanwhile, bootcamp needs you to reformat a thumb drive.

In fact, Apple used to let users download many things here: I have been downloading right drivers for 20+ years. I'm not worried in the least bit about downloading the right driver. They made a choice to handhold users through disk formatting instead of just having a download. Are they keeping users from downloading the wrong versions of stuff?
