I’ve wondered how hard it would be to turn off the cellular radio if you really cared enough.

You can but it's not that simple: my neighbor found the antenna for his car's spyware transmitter in the side-view mirror (can't remember which car), cut the wire, and almost immediately, the dashboard reported a fault and started bitching and moaning that the car needed servicing.
