Yeah its not like banning guns, its like banning shooting them out the window one-handed while you are driving, because it's very distracting.. for other motorists as well.. Ya know - someone could conceivably be hurt doing that..
The thing is, txting is so much of our culture now, it will be hard for folks to pull up on the side of the road to reply to a txt, and in many places it will be physically difficult, dangerous, or impossible. Gee we all might to get a CB radio installed instead! It will be just like the good ol' days, Luke!
I can see the cellphone companies modifying their software so cellphones are unable to send or receive txts while moving - that will not be difficult at all, and it will be easy to legislate and monitor, and that will be the end of the problem in one fell swoop.
I don't like the legislative approach either, but something has to be done I think. Thats also the good thing about bikes - a lot less distractions.
