They could just... take down the mobile network without having to go through the hassle of bricking your phone individually.
And it's not that hard, bring down a VPN or some core routing service.

But that's temporary, and phones can roam to other carriers. Bricking large swaths of consumer devices is a much more permanent effect, especially for non-phones (think modern cars, PoS terminals, and other devices with SIMs)
