Two MacBook Air laptops (M2/M3) were collected from Apple today after complete firmware and OS reset

We collected two MacBook Air laptops today from apple (directly from Apple Store) and I have to say is fascinating to watch this playing out. Device details:

Laptop A:

Model Name: MacBook Air

Model Identifier: Mac15,12

Model Number: MRXP3X/A

Chip: Apple M3

Total Number of Cores: 8 (4 performance and 4 efficiency)

Memory: 8 GB

System Firmware Version: 10151.81.1

and

Laptop B:

Model Name: MacBook Air

Model Identifier: Mac14,2

Model Number: MN703X/A

Chip: Apple M2

Total Number of Cores: 8 (4 performance and 4 efficiency)

Memory: 16 GB

System Firmware Version: 11881.1.1

Within 2 minutes of opening the M3 it is literally fully owned by people that seem to enjoy this. What is going on here and how are they able to do this?
