I'm getting confused. The windows have weep holes to drain. Why does
the brick veneer have to have one. The window drips onto the sill and
away or evaporates in little time.
I'm saying that the bottom of the brick wall has no weep holes.

Don't be mislead by YT videos. Brick walls don't need "weep holes."
I've had 2 brick homes and never had a "weep hole" in the brick.
I tuck pointed both of them and would have filled any "weep hole" with mortar if I had
seen one.
Brick or Stucco - the weep holes have always been in the widow, not in
a wall. A weep hole in brick could freeze and dislodge the brick or
veneer. No?
