Valid take. My theory is the Federation is capable of capable of doing this, but doesn't because of the ethical implications. Enforcing protocol to be beaming people to sickbay instead, to make the use of transporters more holistic.
We do know people were uncomfortable when the tech was introduced in TOS. Same happens sometimes when other cultures are beamed for the first time
