So when people inevitably do it, they should just die?

  It's a tough question. Nobody "should" die. But maybe improving cellular coverage in Death Valley would actually increase fatalities. Because it'd feel safer. Or at least, it'd probably increase rescue costs. And there are arguably better uses for resources than trying to make Death Valley a safe vacation venue.

  Yes.

  I'm not in favor of making the world perfectly safe for idiots. There's a line. You step over the line, you're responsible for yourself. Driving to inhospitable and/or remote wilderness areas without preparation is over that line. Plus, a sat beacon is $120. So people don't really have an excuse.

  They are very likely to and can hardly claim to have been uninformed of the risk. It isn't called 'Life Valley'. edit - doesn't mean putting up some radio cover is a bad idea, however I suspect it is not some panacea against badly planned road adventures. If you are capable of venturing forth into Death Valley without much preparation, you are more than capable of managing to forget a phone.
