Can't see why they should be made illegal though as vision is not affected in any way!
Main reason that it is illegal is not because it affects your vision but other people (drivers, pedestrians, etc.) must be able to see your face/eyes to communicate!
Communication is very important in these days traffic and helps to avoid accidents.
You must be able to see if another driver has seen you (especially when you are weaker, such as driving a bike or as a pedestrian).
The reasons you are mentioning (mobile phone use, privacy, etc.) don't make sense in my opinion. You cannot blame the goverment for everything (but must admit that speed cameras are everywhere for the money and not for savety reasons
)!
