Why does a Microsoft owned security guard vehicle need a law enforcement push bar?

Because this is the police car they’ll send to your house when you say something to Copilot that they don’t like.

That's assuming Copilot could form a coherent report to send back to them.

Is that what this is? If so, why not just put “Microsoft Security” instead of advertising for various ms products lol.

Anyway if this is security, the serious answer is they can maybe help with disabled vehicles in the parking lot? In some weird emergency situation? Or they just want to look like tough guys.

It has an emergency vehicle light bar on top and those police-style hub caps so I'm safely assuming it is their security guards trying to pretend they're real cops.

Technically you could use that push bar to move a disabled vehicle... if you don't mind causing expensive damage to the bodywork of the other car. This kind of bar is for when you want to use your vehicle as a weapon to pit or ram other vehicles and keep your own vehicle in functioning order. As security guards they'll never do that.
