Last flight I was on had a no electronics at all rule

A person was told they couldn’t have their kindle out during the flight

Name and shame the airline.

I fly a lot for work, internationally most of the time. Haven't seen this in many years.

Air Canada - pre-covid though so that might be your many years

I flew many times with different airlines before that without this issue
