Unless you're really into flying the effect is minimal

It also costs you nothing to disable it. And if everyone keeps it disabled for all their flights, it’s not minimal anymore. So I don’t really see the problem here.

Imagine the savings if all of those people just didn't fly! lol

That doesn’t change that disabling cellular makes a difference, so I don’t see your point. Just because something’s not perfect, doesn’t mean it can’t make a difference.

It just makes such a tiny, insignificant difference that it really doesn't matter one way or the other.
