Actually the M1 Macs have twelve startup MODES, three of which are Recovery Modes as illustrated here. Which is roughly comparable to Intel Macs as illustrated here. The primary differences are:
  1. As you pointed out Instead of the thirteen key combinations required on Intel Macs there are three power button options and numerous menu options on M1 Macs. (Heaven only knows how many times I have looked up the Intel key combinations but it only took once for the M1 Mac.) 🤠
  2. Intel Macs do not have an equivalent to the Fallback Recovery Drive found on M1 Macs after the OS has been updated.
  3. M1 Macs do not offer an option to boot into an internet recovery drive, it is automatically selected if no other option is available
  4. M1 Macs have a utility to set the SIP on a boot volume by boot volume basis.
