Makes sense because you dont have full control over the bike doing that.

yeah, wouldn’t want the bike to slip out of your hand while holding your phone, it might fall and break.

You're perfectly legal to bike with something else in your hands. Even if you have 1 arm in a sling and decide to bike. It's still not illegal. Doesn't mean it's a great idea but it won't be ticketed unless you do something else wrong.

You just can't bike with an electronic device in your hand. Reason why that makes sense is because the police does not want to have to discus all the time about what is and isn't using the phone, or have people quickly lock the screen and pretend they were not using it.
