Disable 2g by default ??? Profit?

I'm not sure what's so hard about this, I get that 2g goes further for emergencies but it's basically useless for anything else, have it be enabled if needed (and communicate that with users when first disabling it)

Google Apple and Samsung are all working on / have satellite SOS, which should replace the long term need here
