When you hold the power button, the slide to emergency call is super dominant and my brain wants to slide it as I associate the color red with power off. I hate this "feature" so much. Is there any way to remove the SOS Emergency Call?

In Watch app Settings > Emergency SOS there is option to turn off the 'Hold side Button to Dial'. I have it turned off as I have a data-only SIM card.

This doesn't work. The setting you're referring to is for actually for calling emergency services by holding the button. I know this because when I was doing dips at the gym a few days ago, I accidentally triggered it and the watch began making a noise to dial emergency services in a certain amount of time.
