Read the plan again.
The plan wants you to eat healthy while you are low carbing and part
of that healthy part of the plan requires that you consume some
vegetables that have been proven to reduce many cancers.
But to answer your question without preaching, you lose weight.

Nothing untoward. You should try to squeeze in some low carb vegies,
but you shouldn't be in trouble if you don't. Constipation, maybe.
It's 2 weeks. No biggie as far as I'm concerned. I used those 2 weeks
to try different vegetables and found a few I like that I hadn't eaten
before.

This is a good question. I suspect that there is nothing wrong with zero
carbs.
I don't think anyone has done a study.
I imagine a pre-historic hunter who kills a big animal. Might he eat meat,
meat, and more meat for weeks? What if hunting is easy? There could be
10,000 Bison roaming nearby. It seems inconceivable to me that humans would
need carbs.

We don't need carbs, but we do need the vitamins and minerals that don't
come from just meat. Lots of really creepy diseases are caused by
malnutrition and lack of adequate vitamins.

I get very tired and worn out. Turns out there is no prize for eating
less than 20 carbs. It's best if I get the carbs I need from
vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower.

From a practical standpoint, the question is really moot. Unless you
do something extreme, any reasonable approach to induction is going to
have carbs in it and it's pretty easy to go over 20 grams. For
example, cheese, salad, cream, all have at least a few carbs and it
can add up quite quickly.
To really stay well below 20, you'd have to either be extremely
selective in what you eat or eat very little, or both.

I was being very selective, which is how you work induction.

You probably get constipated if you aim for zero, as most of that 20
on Induction is supposed to come from fibrous vegtables.

The biggest problem is being unable to follow the plan because
you're already behind the 8-ball on developing the good habit
of eating enough veggies.
A lot of folks stall if they stay too low, and of course the
lower they stay the more likely it is. But that doesn't go into
effect until week 3. That's how T3 thyroid output works; it
takes 3 weeks of low carb to start going down.
Why not just follow the process as it is actually written and eat
the mandatory veggies? The single most important concept of
Atkins, CCLL, is that less isn't more and that the initial
undershoot is only 20 because that gets 99%+ into ketosis.
