Br'er Rat has the answer, imo.
If all real calls on guard used correct voice procedure it would certainly be more obvious that an emergency was in progress rather than sounding like a PPL having a chat with someone as the often do.
However, frightened and lost PPLs have as much right to use guard as anyone else so jumping on them is unprofessional, quite apart from being inhuman.
