Using that logic.. there are lots of ignored "jokes";  things like
selecting strong passwords,
yield signs, road speed limits.     They may be a joke 90% of the
time.     But the 10% of the time they aren't,   significant cash
could be at stake  in the resulting tort case...

You're referring to the "No/Limited 911 service"  type stickers  that
may have been provided for portable devices by some providers?

They might be treating it as a joke at their own risk,  or at their
provider's risk.
Ultimately,  I would suggest, it's up to lawyers and their orgs'
respective Infosec personnel  for the provider/customer orgs to figure
out  if there is a joke, and who the joke is on....
