Lesson learned: if you want to semi-permanently take a system offline, hope they have a bad EFI implementation and rm -rf /sys. The fact that a malicious actor can compromise your hardware via software like that is incredible.

That's an insane design decision and if I replicated that in my professional capacity designing heavy machinery I'd be rightly fired and sued to oblivion because the equivalent result is dead people. This is a basic case of the principle of safety-in-design.
