In the US, I assumed most people turn AMBER alerts off on their phones. Some people seem to get mad about people disabling them but some people get mad at just about everything.

I highly doubt "most people" even know how to do this.

Most people I know forget about their existence but disable them as soon as they get one on a new phone.

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone near me in the US who has even thought to disable it. We might get one alert every few years.

I used to get them once a month or so. I disabled them.

As with most good things, if it's abused, it stops working as intended.
