I'm not doubting they CAN do it, just that specifically Android phones would push out such an update as fast as Google would like / require.
On the other hand if your cell carrier refuses to trigger the system altogether, Apple and Google wouldn't have to touch a thing. The mechanism to make that plan work is far simpler and less error prone, too. That could be why the FCC reminder for compliance went out to service providers, even.
I'm just talking logistics as a software and server systems programmer. In any case, denying the public access to EBS messages is a federal crime and depending on the intent it can be escalated to a crime against the federation (treasonous). For good measure do what you can on your device to get around such censorship of the GEOTUS.
I’m pretty sure apple/google can program phones to reject emergency broadcasts
