The fire risk is because if it locks with a key, if you take the you take the key out, you won't be able to open the window.
If I take the key out of my door, I can't open the door either. It doesn't mean the key can't be near enough to be useful in an emergency.
It's a window - if the key isn't handy in an emergency just smash it like you would a window that didn't open at all.
FWIW I don't think any of my windows are actually locked and even if they are the key is in the lock, but still.

Pretty sure that building code (in the US, anyway) won't let you have windows that lock with a key because it's a fire risk.
Windows that can open (particularly only a crack) but can not be locked in that position are a burglary risk. Hence it is near impossible nowadays to find windows which cannot lock. In NL, anyway.
The fire risk is because if it locks with a key, if you take the you take the key out, you won't be able to open the window.
In America, the locks on your windows are latches that are permanently integrated into the window.
The burglary risk is because if the window is at a crack and not locked in that position, the burlar may be able to use a tool to open the window all the way and gain entry.

Doors aren't allowed to lock from the inside with a key either, for the same reason. If a doorknob locks at all, it has to have a permanently integrated latch that can be operated from the inside.

What are you talking about?
The window still locks, just without a key. There's a latch that you can open from the inside.

My doors lock with a key from the inside. It's very common around here.

Any latch you can open while the window is ajar can be opened from the outside using a lever or similar tool.

I have little tabs that fold in about 3in up that prevent the window from opening all the way. Since the screen pulls into the house and you need a weird shaped bar to reach them, they're pretty good at keeping people out. Not perfect - I left the screen off once and used a tire iron to (carefully!) flip the tab to the open position when I locked myself out once.

Last I knew (yes, codes may have changed...) was that a keyed deadbolt was required if the deadbolt was closer than <some distance> from a window.

My deadbolt is keyed on both sides. We leave a key in there.

That still does not require a key, just a mechanism that does not allow to switch from crack to fully open without closing the window in between. The usual fitting here these days (cleverly called “eurowindows”) does that. The window opens to a crack on bottom hinges, but wide open on side hinges, and the handle won't turn between the positions when the window is open to crack because the bolts are not aligned right to engage the other set of hinges.

Same. But that's because my front door and its lock are ancient stuff you would not find in any modern bulding.

@izzion I didn't mean the needle stabs, I meant the vaccines themselves. The immune response of that 3 year old body must've been through the roof.
That's assuming it even happened, which, as with all stories on /r/AskReddit, is $100% guaranteed to have really happened. And after he got the last shot, all nurses stood up and clapped.
