I have factory unlocked S23 Ultra US version and live in US too. SIM is Verizon. Android 14 with official UI6. 
Many articles saying that I have to connect my 23 ultra to PC and power off then press volume+ and power button for show up recovery mode. But my 23 ultra can do it without connect to PC. Why my 23 ultra can do it??
I could do this with my Verizon locked Note10+, factory unlocked S22 Ultra before. Also my current tab S8+ can do it without connect to PC with USB-C. Why my devices can do it without connect to PC with USB cable? Only US version?

@Kentaro It looks like your Tab S8+ is 5G. Mine is Wifi only. So mine doesn't have a baseband value. But it looks like the software on mine is after the firmware on yours. The last digits on yours is S4BWJ1 but on mine it is S5BWI1. I wouldn't read too much into that. The update for 5G versions can be different and can lag the Wifi versions.

Yes, It's 5G model, I remembered now. I got it from Facebook marketplace local person 3, 4 month ago and he said it's from T-Mobile. I don't have T-Mobile account and using it only WiFi so I forgot about mobile. Mine says it's up to date. I'll keep check for update. Thank you for these conversations and thank you for your help too.
