Why can’t cellphones connect to each other directly, acting like walkie talkies, at distances similar to their ability to reach cell towers.

I grew up on a sailboat. So using VHF radio was very commong to talk to other boats you could see nearby. But for that to work, we needed and antenna attached to the mast.
The average person isn’t going to be walking about with a 10 meter antenna. ***Mobile radios exist, but there make-up means they are bigger than your typical cellphone.***
It just isn’t practical for most people. Sure it would be a nice feature, but nobody is going to carry around a device 2-3 times bigger than their phone just for this limited feature.
