Off-Topic: Why Türkiye? Why not keep using Turkey in English? I know they changed their name to Türkiye, but why would we change it in our languages? We still use Germany instead of Deutschland, India instead of Bharat, and Italy instead of Italia. So why make an exception for Turkey?
The diacritics are a bit annoying to type but if they've asked to be called Turkiye why not call them Turkiye?

What kind of authority do they have over my language?

Yeah, I'm from Turkey and it's really annoying for me to use a keyboard shortcuts to select "Türkiye" from dropdowns using year old "T", "U", "R" keys. Now in some websites it's "Turkey" and in some websites it's "Türkiye" I need to switch keyboard layouts just to select my country name. Even though, website doesn't let me use my actual name since my name has non ascii characters so I need to try many times.
This reminds me of my own struggles in locating my country in various dropdowns. Sometimes it‘s the trivial to find Austria, but sometimes Österreich under O and other times Österreich under Ö (sorted to the very bottom). Collation is fun!

The Germany/Deutschland/Alemannia/Niemcy situation is utter garbage and its existence is a curse upon this world, not justification to do it to other countries, too. Türkiye is Türkiye because it self-identifies as such.

We're laying the groundwork to globally search/replace "India" to "Bharat."

I don't understand why so many people are so quick to interpret things as some kind of boot on their neck. The official names of places change - they're proper nouns. Nobody is invoking authority to control how you write the names of places.
If they don’t even have the refining infrastructure built yet what do they have to offer the US ( or any other nation) that we can’t get from China? Rare Earth isn’t actually rare, what’s rare is the ability to refine it into pure elements.
