PEMDAS isn’t even real. It’s something we made up to make stupid people feel better about being poor communicators. I challenge someone to create a word problem that actually requires the use of pemdas where you couldn’t just reword the problem to actually make sense.
Creating fake problems by inserting ambiguity is ridiculous.
The point is to allow more concise representation of problems that don’t include words. If you’re willing to be arbitrarily verbose, you can just add enough parentheses that you don’t need the other five letters.
Ok than I guess according to you PEMDSA doesn’t work. Or what about PEDMAS or PEDMSA maybe? Oh wait we made up that order cuz it’s easier to say? No way, color me shocked.

Nothing about math is real. Every single thing about it is abstract.

Yes it is
No it isn’t. They are proven rules of Maths arising from the definitions of the operators to begin with.
There’s no ambiguity in the order of operations rules
