Because the F/A's have to verify that they are turned off and stowed prior to takeoff. The F/A's do this during their walk-throughs early in the taxi. If you allowed the use during taxi out the F/A's would have to make additional walk-throughs after the announcement that the phones had to be turned off and stowed was made.
