It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

I imagine the lack of voice support presents some compliance issues with emergency calls.

More referring to selling a device classified as a mobile phone that might not be able to connect to emergency services without any tinkering. My google-fu is failing me now, but I'm trying to see what the actual requirements are, if they exist at all, to sell a mobile phone. All I'm seeing is that the radio shall connect to any available base stations during an emergency call regardless of subscriber status.

I don't know how the linux phone OS's are handling these kind of interactions with their baseband processing, if at all.

This is handled in the modem Firmware. Linux just has to supply "User has dialed number x, go into emergency mode" and then route the audio.

This is solved for all Linux phones as far as I know. From Openmoko over N900 till Librem 5.

E911 is a thing in some places and not in others depending on what each county dispatch wants to do and pay for. It does require some call center upgrades as I recall when I was working EMS and fire. It was kind of sketchy when I was working. But, everything is a bit sketchy when working in a very rural area in public safety.
