Looking through the settings, I reckon one can set a message to be sent automatically to your "emergency contacts", along with your location when you use the mentioned feature. A possible use case: coming home late at night, you get followed by a sinister looking guy; you can discreetly ask for help without pulling your phone.

As said in a sibling comment, you can try it in a desktop browser (Chrome instructions below):
- open developer tools, Toggle device toolbar, pick an iPhone dimension
- Network > More network conditions ("wifi" icon) > User-agent > Custom > "iPhone Safari"
- in Sources, set a breakpoint on the 1st line, refresh the page, when the debugger breaks, type "window.navigator.standalone = true" in the Console, and continue
