I've often heard this said, but my iPhone 8 doesn't operate like this at all. Touch ID still works regardless of how many times I press the lock button. Is there a setting I'm missing? I've looked around and couldn't find anything.

It ought to, this is an iOS 11 feature which is what the iPhone 8 shipped with.
I don’t see any option for it in the passcode settings either.
On my iPhone SE it takes me to a screen with power off, medical ID, and emergency SOS sliders. To get back to the home screen after that I need to enter my passcode.

Aha, that does it!

You have to be on iOS 12.4 or later I believe.

In fact, when I just tried this on my iPhone XR (iOS 13.3.1) it started making an emergency call.
