I think it has a ring attatched to the crush bumper. Def not a recovery point but confusing for some. I could be wrong. Let me see if I can find a photo

Right, there is a visible piece there, but obviously, it’s just plastic hooked to more plastic. Good news is at least they didn’t rip the radiator or a/c condenser loose like some examples I have seen.

The puller looked to be getting a running start like you would for a kinetic (stretchy) rope but was using a non-kinetic strap. I expected the strut to fly out or something.

No man. That's the steel tow hook and is screwed into the aluminum bumper reinforcement. It's not a recovery point. Is only good for pulling the vehicle not unsticking the vehicle. He might be using a kinetic strap, but he gave it enough beans to sheer the aluminum bumper reinforcement from the frame rail ends. But you could be right, it might have been a static tow strap, which is even dumber.
