^^^^^^^ EXACTLY what I do. My phone stays zipped up inside my jacket for that sole purpose. If I get off I'll be able to call emergency services like you said if the phone survives the get off.
It flat out is dangerous, one more thing that can possibly puncture you. I will 100% roll those dice though and hopefully be able to make that dreaded call if need be.
I agree, you gotta chose between two evils. I'm betting on, since everyone, even my technologically impaired father, has a phone on them, someone will make the call for you, unless you are really off the map somewhere in pitch black.
This is what I'm running. I am using the bicycle mount actually for extra low profile:

Yes, I know, my gas cap is upside down. Just the way I like it.
I use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Works with no issues.
But motorcycle vibration damages phone camera. So if you care about your phone camera I would not recommend you to mount your phone on the bar.

I didn't accuse anyone here. I said it really blows my mind when I see it much the same as you pointed out. I was just asking the group if I'm the only one that likes to be away from their phonewhen they ride. Believe it or not it doesn't cause me anxiety to not look at it for hours at a time. No matter how you want to spin it though its a distraction that takes you away from the road.
For the record the OP did not say GPS he said phone which I do realize is the best GPS device. I also assumed it was for GPS but you never know if people cant live without their notifications. I really like waze on the interstates but I never ride my motorcycle on the superslab anyway so the cop benefit is gone.
Lol not quite, just a really big peninsula.
No need for phone holder
