Is it illegal to swerve in and out of your lane in moving traffic? Most likely it is.
Is it illegal to drive 40mph in the passing lane? Most likely it is.
Is it illegal to drive a car into another car's rear bumper? Most likely it is.
If a phone is causing a person to do these things then cite the person for doing these things and leave my phone the fugk out of it.

You are cool with those laws but you aren't cool with a law prohibiting the thing that causes the majority of those offenses to occur?
If I have to suffer the horrible inconvenience of not being able to text and operate a motor vehicle but said law keeps some nitwit 20 year old Bernie voter from slamming into my wifes car with my kids in the back because she was busy perusing the latest posts on the tmz website, then so be it.
