It's a good idea, but I can imagine how frustrating it would be if someone called and I didn't have my headset. The EV of avoiding that experience seems slightly higher than the EV of avoiding risk of being eavesdropped on by a wayward smartphone process by disabling the internal mic.

If you give me 10 minutes, I can put it back together real quick” Not the vibe I personally wanna be giving friends and colleagues.
