I thought another reason was to avoid blasting everyone* you pass with your phone’s maximum power signal while trying to reconnect.
Edit: the problem being interference, not any health effects. I read that the effectively one-way signals from the sky worked somewhat like a jammer.

Cell phone radiation is negligible
I don’t think even the combined power of all the phones in the plane would be enough to cause interference for anyone
The phone’s modem is not powerful enough, it takes a couple watts at most, which is tiiny compared to what a cell tower can output
