Why you may ask? Simply because the iso contains a file larger than 4GB (install.wim) so you cannot use a FAT32 formatted usb drive (FAT32 is needed for EFI boot). Instead tools like Rufus provide their own EFI NTFS boot loader.
Interestingly Microsoft’s own usb creator doesn’t include install.wim but instead install.esd which is less than 4GB so can use FAT32. I have no idea why the iso uses a wim file whereas the windows usb creator uses an esd file. I do know the esd version is a little slower to install (only a minute or two). I guess because of higher compression.
This is a pain because making a Windows bootable installer on Linux or macOS is now more complicated than it need be as you cannot simply put the iso onto the usb drive with dd or gdisk as you would normally do.
Does anyone know why this is the case? As a workaround you can use Microsoft’s usb media creator to build an iso with the esd file then use dd as usual. But of course this requires a Windows system to run the Windows only usb creation tool and is a slower process than just downloading an iso directly. Annoying.
It's not really Google's choice. Qualcomm gives up on their SOCs pretty quickly and unlike on Linux Android's license doesn't force them to publish driver sources.
The FCC regulates 911 service. Here's the form for filing a complaint about 911 service:

States also regulate 911 service. Try your state's office of emergency services.
There's something called "Kari's Law" that may apply here. This was passed in 2018 after someone was being attacked in a hotel room and their 9 year old daughter tried to call 911. She couldn't get through because the phone system required dialing 9 for an outside line. So, now, all business phone systems are required to recognize and pass through 911 to the main phone network. There are criminal penalties. (Microsoft might argue that "Teams" is not a "multi-line telephone system". That probably wouldn't go far with a jury. The clear intent of the law is that if you interpose something between a phone handset and the 911 network, it has to pass through 911 calls.)
The whole 911 area is heavily regulated, since it requires that so many things interoperate reliably.
Sounds about par for the Android team's awareness of what a steaming pile of cow dung their OS is. I gave up on Android long ago and I'm aware of many reports like this.
