If they'd just provide a physical switch (not software-based but actually cutting off the respective chips and antennae from electricity) to go full offline (no GPS, no Wifi, no mobile connection, ...) they'd effortlessly at least double their market potential.

Genuinely interested, why is that? IOW, why do I want a (mobile) phone without connectivity?

Not a phone without connectivity. A phone with truly optional connectivity.
