kinda acceptable in business-to-business transactions to refer to the people asking something from you as "customers"

the problem is Congress (though law) and the President (through EO) demanded this. It wasn't a request.

Usually in business if you miss a deadline set by your boss, you are fired, demoted, or otherwise lose your ability participate in future peojects

If you don't bother preparing the expectation that you'll be late or fail to deliver before 48 hours to go, you get fired on the spot.

This is what it is in most government agencies. The welfare department calls then "customers " and welfare as "benefits ". Think about the implications.

As a small business owner, I gotta rebut: customers are bosses.

I gotta do what they want, or I'm out of a job.

Their customers may be foreign adversaries at this point.

Hmm, lets see. Trump should order them to complete on time or be fired. Make them work 24/7 shifts until done. Lazy fucks.

Not only that, I guess they don't consider themselves to be part of the American People? Kind of telling isn't it?

That report does not go to the American people, It goes to the President and certain members of the cabinet. The customers are therefore not the American public.
