I have never seen a phone BMS that prevents charging due to undertemperature

Isn't that a stock feature on pretty much every chip? I mean, if you've got a temperature sensor for overtemperature protection, including undertemperature protection is trivial.
Even the cheapest chips from TI and ST seem to include it. And modern cell phones often advertise extra-fast 20W+ charging, so I doubt they're using the cheapest chips.

I can already imagine freezing to death while my phone refuses to charge because it wants to protect its precious battery
