Sorry, but the world doesn't work that way. Safety is always a tradeoff against cost.
With all due respect in this case you are wrong.
We are not talking about ejector seats for every passenger. Just agreement by commercial airlines to use what Inmarsat are offering for free - a basic location service. Nor are we talking about full flight data telemetry by the micro-second that some nerds want.
