We don't have UEFI variable support right now, so there is no such thing as multiple EFI boot options on our platform. You always get the removable media default EFI boot filename.
By password resets I mean booting with init=/bin/sh and running passwd.

Mac recoveryOS cannot mount Linux filesystems, and setting up a whole separate OS container just for recovery purposes is overkill and impractical for multiple reasons. We are looking into some kind of VM setup to run Linux recovery in macOS/recoveryOS, but as you can imagine it's not something trivial to build and deploy.
Point being, there are good reasons to use a standard bootloader and it's not something you can just throw away without spending a lot of engineering time building tooling to replace it.
