On the other hand, downloading 3 gb to wipe doesn't really sound that bad concidering the way to do that used to be to download the entire OS and format the disk

Why would you download anything? It seems possible to have a DVD/BluRay or USB disk with the golden copy on it, or the OS itself should be able to restore itself to factory settings.

There was a bug. It was designed and now does work, presumably forever, as you’ve described.

You had to have created that DVD at some point. Either you downloaded it or bought it.
