You're absolutely right. As we've seen here, it's a reason for a peace officer to interrupt your travel, do a visual search of your vehicle, and question you about your activities, just because he couldn't see your hands while your vehicle was stopped at a traffic light where whatever you were doing with your hands (texting or otherwise) had zero impact on public safety... an unreasonable intrusion, and a waste of time.

I think the Founding Fathers would be astounded at some of the crap we put up with these days, in return for a false perception of increased safety.
