They need to add a touchscreen and menu to access the fire extinguisher, probably with auto-subscription. Then all will be well.

Confirmation dialog pops up on your iPhone, you allow it, it sends you a code to enter.

That looks like a picture taken from a mall, outside of an Apple Store.

So, let’s not blame Apple here. Let’s blame the mall for doing something really stupid.

No, that's the interior of the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, the one that's a glass cube on top.

In case you disagree compare https://www.apple.com/cf/newsroom/2019/09/apple-fifth-avenue...

I wonder if this could have been made trivially compliant by using a transparent window with a sticker, like they do for AED machines.

Let’s face it, the flat UI is stupidity when it comes to anything. This is not an issue exclusive to fire extinguishers.
