This service already exists, even AAA has this.

I would say that usage might be rare for EV owners that charge at home. How would they run out of charge doing normal daily stuff? It's like people running out of gas, it does happen, but there are other contributing factors normally.

Depending on certain factors, it might be more convenient to tow the vehicle to the nearest fast charger unless the charging vehicle is equipped to deliver a fast charge.

Tesla owners can get roadside assistance straight from the Tesla app.

Though Tesla does not do the roadside assistance themselves in a lot of rural areas, do they just send any roadside assistance business?

Yes (certain third parties), similar to what your insurance would do if you used roadside assistance through them.

One difference is that Tesla can run remote diagnostics if there are any other issues with the car.
