Being fully stopped at a stop light isn't putting my or anyone else's life in danger. If I have a phone in my hand the car is not moving. I also finished the comment before the light turned green so the phone also was no longer in my hand when I needed to start moving.

Paying attention to your surroundings tend to be a good idea always in traffic, even if you're standing still. More than once I've beeped at someone who didn't notice a red light turning green, and their first reaction is to accelerate, then look up. I'm guessing if they were actually still paying attention even though they were stopped, they would have noticed better what's going on around them.
