Windows 10: Why are the details MS provides for their lock screen photo incorrect?

Microsoft is telling me the picture below is of Botswana. This is clearly incorrect, even I know this is the Rocky Mountains. It gives a really bad impression of Microsoft when literal falsehoods are presented to the user directly via built-in OS behaviour.I saw an answer to a similar question where Microsoft claimed any such fault lies with the image owner. A few issues here:1 Despite searching, I could find no online sources for this image which mis-label it as Botswana. I found hundreds of sources which correctly labelled it. W11 provides no link to the actual source of the image used. Out
