On every flight I've been on in the past I have yet to see anyone follow those rules. Most will turn them off sometime while taxiing out or soon after touch down.

Those are the EU rules you seem to be talking about. The US rules on domestic flights certainly do not prohibit these gadgets to be used after landing but well before the doors have opened. The gadgets seem to be also allowed to be used prior to takeoff until the crew gives the instruction to turn them off, even if that means having them on for a bit after the door is closed.
