It’s not really a backdoor. It’s an Emergency Broadcast System. Nobody can access your phone through it, they just blast data out to everyone in a preconfigured way that your phone knows to receive and relay to you.
It’s not really any different than receiving a text message except that the text message comes with its own dedicated sound so that you know an emergency is happening.
For the same reason you can’t opt out of hearing firetruck sirens, it’s an emergency broadcast with information and instructions. Important for functioning society.

You can opt out in the sense that you can go into your phone’s settings and turn them off. A lot of people don’t know that you can do that.
