Do I want to hold a transmitter that powerful against my head? Although I guess cell phones transmit further than that.

They very likely use less radiated power than the souped-up cordless does though. Cell phones have the huge advantages of (1) not sharing spectrum, so less interference, and (2) the thing they're talking to has massive ears (antennas), so they really don't need to shout very loudly to be heard.
