Agree completely. Having people alert and not distracted by headphones in the event of an incident, which is most likely to occur on take-off or landing, and avoiding cables running around the place that people might trip over in an evacuation, not to mention flying laptops in the event of a crash, are excellent reasons to retain the rule.

Interference isn't.
