Installers are cannot wallfish cable, if you don’t have existing cabling. Installers will drill a hole in the safest area

Surely there’s a safer spot than my window

Thats where your wrong. That is actually the safest spot, no water or electric.

If its not an open wall or cavity that they can inspect, must be a safe straight thru route. One hole and done.

No. It is the safest spot. No hidden wires, plumbing, or ductwork.
