First, attendance is trivial? Are you actually saying that attending a class is a trivial matter in the learning process? I am amazed.
Second, policies are routinely discussed first thing at the first class period. If you disagree with the policies, you are free to drop the class. You call it a god complex, I call it expecting good manners.

A good teacher can teach the subject despite class members showing up late, leaving early, sleeping, or leaving temporarily to take a call.

A good teacher also minimizes distractions so that the students who are tardy, leaving early, sleeping, or taking phone calls don't disrupt the learning process for those who are punctual and attentive. Students taking a call in class are deciding that their phone call is more important that the class not just for themselves, but for every person in the class.
