I've always understood that, certainly so far as commercial airliners
are concerned, EMC was never really the issue. Far more to the point
is the fact that take off and landing are statistically the most
likely time for there to be an emergency which requires the
passengers to be paying attention to what the cabin attendants have
to say rather than listening to or fiddling with their personal
possessions.
It also can't do any harm for the cabin not to be cluttered up with
laptops and other junk for people to trip over if you need to get
everyone off in a hurry.
