But you brought the argument that radios have "a phone mode of operation". The "voice" mode [0] is colloquially called "phone" because of the telephone-like functionality. This is why it's also called radiotelephony and not just telephony. To highlight the similarity to telephony but still make it clear that it's a radio and not a telephone. Now the article is written in 2020, when "wireless phone" means only "wireless telephone", something different from the radio presented in the article. And clickbaity titles are all the rage.
