Indeed.
It might take quite a few flight attendants to check each and every device to see if it was approved and actually in airplane mode. Might make flying a bit more expensive and flights a bit longer. I'd rather just keep it off till takeoff, than have to keep it off while every device was checked as it could take a bit longer in many cases.
But no one has checked any of my devices to see if they are in airplane mode before boarding. One of my android devices can still receive and transmit while appearing to be off.
Still if they want it off, I keep it off. Only polite if for no other reason . Their airplane, their rules.
