Do you know how expensive FAA certification is? Do you realize that any time the manufacturer tweaks the device, including firmware updates, they would have to get re-certified?
No consumer device is going to spend that amount of time/effort/money just so you can keep it on during takeoff/landing. It's not cost effective for the company.
If it were really that simple, companies would already be doing it.
