When I got my first phone in high school, your phone being locked was not a thing(over a decade ago). My parents made me put them a neighbor and a couple relatives in as ICE.
Try having a technical conversation about Internal Combustion Engines without using that acronym. Spelling it out once is fine, but what if you're comparing different engine types and you need to refer to that one frequently. Yeah, it gets awkward pretty quickly.

Good one
I never understood why people did that, your phone is locked how are they going to see the contact?

You can set up emergency information on your phone with contacts and even medical info and address, which doesn't need to be unlocked in order to view
You still wouldn't need ice
Do people actually call them ICE?

ICE? You mean the German electric high speed train?
One could say the ICE doesn't have an ICE, unless ICE someone from ICE enters the ICE.
There actually was a diesel ICE for some time too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICE_TD
An ICE with an ICE!
LOL, that pretty much covers it.
I hear ya
Or about Internal Compiler Errors
Do people still use ICE
I've just transitioned my contacts phone to phone over the years so mine still have that for a few people.
I don't live in the US.
Congrats
It wasn't a problem until that no talent ass clown started winning Grammys...
I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman"
So you celebrate his entire catalog, eh?
im not worried about the opinions of folks who lack nuance.
that's why they're changing it to NICE, Not-that-it-would-happen-but-just In Case of Emergency
