Yeah, but if you have one or more existing, effective treatments, then you can’t emergency authorize experimental drugs for mass distribution and use, right?

We heard that all the time. It strikes me as a red herring excuse because the feds could have easily relaxed or suspended that prohibition against EUA if there was a therapeutic treatment available. It's a man-made regulation that might make sense in non-pandemic times. But a man-made reg could be easily undone for a year or two specifically for COVID. Why was there no effort or political will to do that?
