This is because it's done clientside

No, playing the taunt sound is sure clientside, but it's not only that, the client should first notify server about taunt.

Are you saying the client does not inform the server when you press taunt if you have a ping spike?

Are you requesting that taunting be done where it is first sent to the server and then back to the client...and then played?

Yes, because it makes sense? Like you won't go through a closed door until you open it on the server.

Disagree. It seems pointless to waste bandwidth on sending a taunt to and from the server. It hasn't come up as an issue in 13 years, so no change required.
