It seems as if live verification has reached the point at which Recovery is a fallback for when you can't boot into your regular volume rather than a day to day tool, unlike in the good old days when you had to boot into an external volume to run Disk Repair â“,
Just like
in the good old days you still cannot make repairs the boot drive and must boot into a different volume such as the Recovery Drive. (I don't believe you can make repairs to a different APFS volume on the same disk/partition either.)
The Recovery Drive is still a valuable tool for making repairs to a boot volume as well as offering several
Recovery options. Booting into the Recovery Drive (Command+R) on my MBP takes less time than booting normally. The only time it takes a good while is booting from the Internet Recovery Drive (Option+Command+R)
