14-in MacBook Pro is an Apple-silicon processor. Boot camp is not supported for Apple-silicon processors, only intel x86 processors.

I am very surprised you did not get an explicit error message with that information, but I guess Apple knew it would never work, so they did not test for those edge cases.
