In your opinion, is this worth doing even if you never signed up, activated, or signed any agreements with respect to on-star?

Not OP, but yes
on GM Vehicles You're looking for a metal box under the passenger side footwell, about the size of a cable modem. newer models have it in the trunk on the right or left side. You can remove the box, open it up, and inside will be a riser card with 2 or 3 connectors for a cell antenna. theres no SIM card.
Pull the riser and you wont get any error codes. Confirm the hack by pressing the OnStar button (or whatever your car calls it.) it will ring, but no one will pick up.
this will NOT affect your bluetooth ability OR your backup camera. thats actually part of the infotainment.
this WILL however disable the SOS button and the automated SOS on airbag deployment signal as the riser doesnt exist to make the call.
