Not sure if you're trying to make a point or just to self-congratulate yourself for thinking this since the 2000s (do you mention a date because you feel you predicted something unexpected?).
Spoiler: it's obvious to anyone who knows about tech.
Not sure if you're disregarding the call to action to turn off your cell phone when not using it or if my prior point is literally playing out as we speak ("You know the problem but it's too useful to acknowledge.").
I mention the date because this problem has been known by everyone, not just me, for a very long time. But it seems like others are incapable of acting on the knowledge.
I do what I can with my own threat model. Actually, I probably do a lot more than what my threat model requires, just because it's interesting and for the learning experience. I don't go as far as to turn off my cell phone when not using it, but I run GrapheneOS :-).
But it seems like others are incapable of acting on the knowledge.
That's wrong. They just don't understand and don't care to understand. They choose not to act, because they don't see a need. Which is true for many things and different groups. You care about turning off your cell phone, how much do you care about climate change or the mass extinction we are responsible for?
I would argue that the equivalent of turning off your cell phone would at the very least be to be a vegetarian. Are you, or are you "incapable of acting on the knowledge"? :-)
