MagSafe wireless chargers definitely let you pick them up and use the phone like you would when it’s plugged it. Wireless charging certainly has its drawbacks, but constrained usage seems like an odd angle.
For instance, a few months before my most recent trip I bought a nifty MagSafe battery pack from Anker that also came with a travel stand I could set up in my hotel room. I could let my phone sit on the stand or I could slide the battery pack out and use it like I normally would. It reminds me of the days where I could just swap my cell phones batteries.
I have the same setup for about a year, even bought a mag safe case for my pixel when I switched to GrapheneOS so I could keep using it. Portable batteries and charging mounts are great and all, but having a mag safe cable is totally pointless. It’s still charges more slowly, produces more heat, and is less efficient. If you’re going to be constrained by a wire you might as well just plug straight in
