Some of the many options for cell phone mounting in vehicles include:
That's plenty of options I think. So I feel confident when I assert anyone who is not using one of those options either has a car so specialized it probably shouldn't be on the street anyway (Ariel Atom?) or they're just making empty excuses because their feelings are hurt by being told not to be unsafe.
FWIW, I'm actually opposed to the law philosophically. But I'll take that to another part of the thread.
I love Wirecutter but at the same time I feel like they're not as "expert-y" as they should be. They tend to dive into things more than your average consumer, but at the same time they get criticized heavily by enthusiasts for not looking at the right models.
I don't consider myself an enthusiast for cell phone holders, but I've spent enough of my own money to try to figure things out. Kenu in general runs pretty good but its not the best either. For instance I tried their air vent holder. It's a standard holder. Nothing special. In fact with phones going glass (e.g. iPhone XS) and heavier than ever, these holders start to not work out so much. I found a better air vent holder (IMO at least) that uses two arms to grab the air vents. The higher Amazon reviews also help with my confirmation bias to reaffirm that this new vent holder is better.
The same happened with their CD slot holder recommendation. I'm a huge fan of CD slot holders, but the one they recommended was an iOttie one which uses a magnetic mount. That makes it hard if you switch up phones or multiple people switch up their phones being mounted because you need to attach something to your phone. Their previous recommendation had a weird clamp mechanism and it didn't hold the phone well. I went back to my previous personal pick which uses a straight forward spring loaded clamp.
The fact that their picks have disappointed me twice in this field makes me a bit upset. Bottom line is I would recommend those two holders I ended up liking (both the air vent and CD slot holder). Those both are better than the Wirecutter picks IMO. I would have thought a company dedicated to buying and reviewing products would probably be able to find at least the same products I tried if not better ones.

I love this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GQMM65Q/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Tight enough to hold the phone but loose enough to get the phone in and out one-handed.
I’m going to try this first even though it blocks a vent. I like the side window idea.

This is the air vent one I purchased and have used. It held my Galaxy S9+ firmly without issue and does the same with my S10. I like that it has two grips to hold the vent, and also rotates to a landscape view. I really recommend it.
