Registering has nothing to do with whether the drone broadcasts Remote ID, those are two mutually exclusive things. The drone has no idea if you've registered it or not. Your location and the drone details are always being continuously broadcast, whether through built-in telemetry data and also with RID if equipped. And while you can buy an older drone without RID, you can't fly it anywhere but indoors or in a Federally Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) after September unless you add on a RID module. But it's still openly broadcasting its telemetry as part of the data link channel with the remote control, so it's not like you're going stealth and nobody who cares can't see you.
Drones have already been broadcasting this information, including operator home point updates, for years, they've just been doing it under non-standard protocols that required more higher end & expensive solutions, like DJI AeroScope which almost all airports and law enforcement agencies have had for a while now. Side note - the protocol is unencrypted and has been reverse engineered and there are even plugins for WireShark to decode it, so you can build your own DIY systems at this point.
There's no weight exception for registration for non-recreational use so if you're flying for any purpose other than personal pleasure you still have to get a Part 107 and register the individual drone.
Your fictional fear situation makes zero sense precisely because of what evidential protections using RID (and the system logs) provides to LE and drone operators. Operators are easy to track down precisely because they, by law, must be in an open area and able to see the drone at all times. I've been flying for over 5 years and have never had a problem because caution and risk management are always a part of the flight plan - also, I'm not a moron and am aware that people value their privacy. When I flew utility inspections we flew $20k Matrice 210s with another $14k in sensors bolted on in some incredibly sketchy areas all while we were wearing bright vests and hard hats. Your biggest risks by far when flying drones are trees, animals, and strong RF interference.
Nothing is wrong with registering with the FAA, a single $5 registration covers every drone you own for recreational use. And since adding any accessory at all puts you over the 249g mark, registering also means you're then able to use the extended life batteries, prop guards and other accessories and be under compliance with Fed and local laws. It's really not a big deal to do it and can even help you get your drone back if you lose it, but there are a certain subset of people who sure like to make it out to be the end of all their rights and privacy. Ironically it's people with the exact same mindset which are the ones you actually need to fear when flying.

There's also the argument that since bad drone actors will simply not use drones with Remote ID or disable theirs, only law-abiding drone operators will register. Imagine who the Feds will go after if an unregistered criminal and a registered operator are flying in the same area...

Also, which criminal has the necessary equipment to pick up the GPS coordinates from a drone transmitting a remote ID?
