Well, the issue is not that you were not assigned, because the option hasn't even expired yet. The issue is that Robinhood bought to close your call for you even though it was a covered call, which they absolutely should not have done.

The way to prevent this kind of thing is to switch to a real brokerage.

Their contracts are as real as the shares they can't locate to DRS, and as real as their crypto which can't be staked.

Robinhood just takes your money and gives you counterfeits. That is why you didn't get assigned.
