Man, I want a phone with physical kill switches for things like Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, because a lot of things seem to detect when these things are turned ‘off’ by software. Wonder how they’d react if in software, GPS is enabled, but the actual hardware is not powered at all

They most likely won't work. Just speculation, but I would imagine most software that "needs" information like GPS don't care that its on or off, they care that they try to pull data and there is none.
