Second, they amount to a lower barrier to entry into the backcountry, which will encourage more people to visit, under the mistaken impression that it is somehow safer than it is. Third, these devices result in more anxiety for those back home who will grow accustomed to receiving periodic news, and will worry as soon as they don't (if a device is lost, drained of battery, etc.).
