People are not rational. Or at least one cannot assume they are when it comes to safety.
People start actual fights over small groups of other people, that neither of them know personally, who are chasing after a ball on a pitch.
So what's your argument? We all act crazy because crazy people might exist? That's just as crazy as being afraid of terrorists.
Why would you let the crazy people run the world. If they're that crazy you put them in a hospital because clearly they need help
The argument is that if I'm responsible for the safety of a very heterogenous group of people in the cabin of my airplane, I will assume that those people are already stressed and will probably act even less rational than they normally would. And that's all that matters in that moment.

Oh believe me, I would if I could...
Then let's stop letting this be acceptable behavior? I mean aren't you just enabling crazy people by defending them?

Define crazy. Because you sound crazy to me. The point of view depends on where you sit. Some other people maybe want to put you in prison, for your „craziness“. Care for what you wish.

They turned what most passengers considered at most tasteless into a real threat worthy of returning to base. How can this possibly help with the stress? If this was to reduce stress, it was disproportionate and backfired in a major way.
Why are airlines adding to every part of that stress but drawing the line at a device's BT name?
Everything about flying is getting worse. The process of buying the tickets full of shady practices and dark patters, the check-in, the boarding process, the cabin luggage getting smaller for the same type of ticket, the ever more cramped seats, the removal of the old amenities like free food or snacks. They are all getting more terrible and adding stress. From what I can tell from my own ticket purchases with the same airlines in the past, the prices kept up with inflation over the past decades but the services have fallen far behind.
