In one way or another we are all guilty of distracted driving at some times.
It's just easier to single out "disruptive" technologies, because actual judgement of the circumstances would take far too long.
Note that "some people" are presumed to be able to safely operate a cell phone while driving: police (obviously), commercial drivers, and "licensed radio operators" (I think the no-code certificate is still $35). This suggests that the phone is not automatically a problem, or else it would be forbidden to all.
