As anyone EVER recovered data after a Factory reset? There are so many people who just give blind advice to use android recovery software which actually doesn't work. I have contacted all data recovery they claim it's not possible after Android 8. If anyone has recovered data after a Factory Reset in Android 10. Please Share your thoughts. Also, I have contacted Data recovery specialists across the World who mentioned It's not possible after a factory reset.

It's should be possible if all the flash cells aren't zeroed out but even then not practical as the master file index is destroyed. The encryption keys are also lost, so they need to be unencrypted as well to recover the files. There's no file index left though, just a sea of files even if recovered. That's one hell of a mess.
Always redundantly backup critical data. Don't do stupid things that can crash the OS... Android is quite long lived and robust if used properly.
Don't upgrade/update firmware. Current load on this N10+ running on Pie is over 2.5 yo with no updates in over 3 years. It remain fast, stable with minimal maintenance.
Be careful what you install. Keep social media and shopping apps off the phone. Vet files before moving from Download folder. Use Virustotal to scan any sideloads before install.
If there's any doubt, don't install. Use a firewall.
Any issues that do occur, track down the root cause and correct it promptly.

I would write it off. A valuable lesson learned from the U of Hard Knocks.
Without redundant backups it's only a matter of time until you're data is fubar...
