I’d guess the codebase that keeps Word running is so convoluted by now they have trouble shoehorning it in.

I think the expression is “Caveat emptor”, though it translates to “let the buyer beware”.

A combination of GPS, or even inertial based guidance to get them to the target area and then some simple vehicle / object identification, I’d think those are possible.
