Why env is only limited to fetch request? I'd like to know the technical reason behind it...

Why?

What do you mean? It should also be present on other events, like the Email and Scheduled Handlers

I mean inside cloudflare workers you cant access it from anywhere with process.env...

Ooh. Basically, it allows the Worker to switch your environment variables around while it is still running If you want access to Variables/Bindings without passing env around manually, you can use AsyncLocalStorage

do u have any implementation by yourself? i also exploring that but after that i realise i could just assign all the env into a global var and then access it from anywhere

AsyncLocalStorage scopes your env to the Request, so that you only have access to the variables/bindings you should have access to
