I hate apple because of vendor lock in and nonsense with their walled garden. But seriously, GP is deluded.

Satellite emergency services has never been free, even if you buy an garmin device for this, they don't operate if you're not paying your monthly bill.

There were many Personal Locator Beacon's that worked without a subscription. They were more popular before the inReach, but still available.
