..... Lockhart River crash clearly shows how a UNICOM on the ground may have prevented the accident
As you were told previously when you stated this, it was reported that the AD operator called the aircraft repeatedly without contact. Keep trotting out the same old furphys to a new audience.

GPWS or EGPWS are somewhat more likely to prevent CFIT than a UNICOM.
