how much discretion do airlines have while deciding to let someone fly into the US?

I have faced much more disrespectful and scrutinizing behavior from airlines staff before boarding than from actual immigration officers. I have been questioned quite rudely in the middle of a line in front of other passengers and I feel they are sometimes unreasonable. Once I was asked stupid questions about my line of work and the guy started arguing with me about some technical detail I'm an expert at.

I know airlines have some responsibility in preventing people without the right documents from flying, but other than that I feel they shouldn't don the role of an immigration officer.

Anyway, is it possible that they prevent someone from flying even though they had the right documents over mere subjective suspicion? Do they have any accountability to the side of passengers? Is it okay to not want to convince them hard and instead give back terse responses?

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
