The issue is many emergency broadcasts will have location specific information, while satellite will be the same message nationwide.
But it’s still a dumb mandate. Not everyone has cars. I keep an emergency radio (which also receives weather and several short wave bands) for emergencies.

Satellite TV uses spot beams for local TV. Satellite radio I do not believe is equipped with such localized spot beams. The do have some local traffic, but I think they are all broadcast nationwide.
