like there should be a workaround/hack that then let’s you place any kinda call for free.

SIM Cards only store your specific information within a specific network. That’s it. It doesn’t change your phones ability to interact with the general network, you just can’t access certain things without one.
Emergency numbers are essentially on the “free netork” anyone can access them regardless stat of device, so long as it can get a signal.
Fwiw…this was a mandated demand by governments worldwide when initial Cell tower implementation began, pretty much the entirety of global cell communication infrastructure was funded by the Country either directly or in subsidies to all the various operates within those countries. (Be it direct investment or curtailed tax deductions etc, similar to current subsidies for EV programs)
Demand was that there must be an emergency channel for public use, and not specifically for calling services but recieving immenent threat updates.
Not really different then how TV and Radio both have an emergency broadcast frequency. In case of cell phones you have access to emergency numbers because “you” already paid for them long long term.
