Perhaps this is an oversight, but you have omitted something very
relevant and important. In those days, many electronic devices had vacuum
tubes and they are far less susceptible to this sort of damage. Today,
semiconductors are the rule and they can indeed be damaged by the lower
power levels of today's cellphones.
On top of that, the frequencies are higher and can cause more damage
with a given unit of power output. And because of that, blasting caps can
still be ignited by small transmitters even at lower output power levels. I
worked on missiles and defense ordnance at one point and any sort of
transmitting hardware was strictly and sensibly prohibited within a defined
radius due to the danger it represented.
Cheers!
