Do you want to be trapped in close quarters with people talking loudly on their phones?
A quick Google search would show that is the issue, since as you said the technical reason went away.
Some people don't care, some do. Right now more that do are on the board that decides it. I don't fly enough to care.

This seems easily mitigated to short duration calls and keeping the phone call quiet.
To your point sure there are always people who will abuse it, but to outright ban it seems OTT.
I just thought it strange the rest of the world has figured this out, but not the US.

Exactly. With all the stupid restrictions when flying, I can fully support this one. We live in a world of clueless entitlement, where people in general have no situational awareness or common courtesy. It’s bad enough that people at the gate already come sit next to me, turn the volume to 11, and put it on speaker or facetime. At least there, I can get up and walk away. I’d lose my mind having to sit next to that for a 3 hour flight.
