The opponents can accept or refuse an undo request
The software allows considerable flexibility, that is true. That does not prevent a TD from imposing additional restrictions by regulation. A possible suggestion mentioned earlier is that the opponent shall only accept or reject an undo request in accordance with instructions issued by the TD. Obviously this is in a tournament environment which has a TD.

Incidently,I find the 'undo' option unique...it would never be allowed in a 'real life' tournament(!)
That is not true. Law 25A1 is a case in point. Indeed I suspect that the undo button in online play is made available largely in order that the online game can simulate as close as possible the provisions of law 25A1.
Arguably, there is less scope for UI in the online game. A genuine misclick conveys no information about the clicker's hand. (Oof Arted has yet to respond to my challenge in post #29 on this thread - presumably because there is no possible response). By contrast in a real life tournament it is harder to imagine that the initial call contains no information.
