I suppose if airlines keeping to the rule will cost the airline something tangible, like the carbon tax, or installing lead proofing in the cabin, they won't be so concerned for our safety.
Since the only cost is some somewhat annoyed passengers, they put up with it.
i think the real issue is that an airline would have to ensure that each and every phone etc. does not interfere to say they can operate. too many models etc. and changes that could be made from model to model that would be too costly to definitively say there is no issue.
