Why does Apple (iPhone) and Google (android OS) enable this?

  nothing they can do afaik. these capabilities are built in at the hardware level in the baseband processor.

    they could make it easy to completely turn off that hardware so that it can't be used.

    Apple compiles the baseband firmware itself, they have control and it’s really doubtful they’d allow the network to just listen in. This is more likely about the use of spyware that is installed on the phone using vulnerabilities in the OS.
