Broadcasts like those are usually live, and subtitles take time to put in. If they’re available, they’re autogenerated by a computer, and are handled by whoever is handling the broadcast. The government has no power to just make subtitles appear. Additionally, subtitles don’t exist for people who are attending in person, although Google is working on that, probably. So yeah the government can’t guarantee that subtitles will be available for whatever they put out. No reason not to have an interpreter.
