That is definitely not the reason for the rule. It's a post-rationalization and a poor one. If that were the reason, books wouldn't be allowed out.
Speaking of post-rationalizations, one I heard from a flight attendant recently is: "it's not that they aren't safe, just just need your full attention during takeoff and landing."
