There are many situations in which no radio contact with anyone is required.
Indeed, a communications radio itself is not an absolute requirement.
There are very few places in the US where flying a certified airplane
without a radio is both legal and a wise thing to do, which is why
people with things like old Champs with no electrical system usually
have a handheld.
Sure, with proper planning, one could legally cross the entire country
without a radio, but it would be immensely stupid to do it.
Your absolutist nonsense is just that; nonsense in the real world where
there is no reset button.
