Without ruining the main use case - is there some way to sterilize or nuke things like a basic cell phone charger when it should have no radio-frequency capability?

If you want Fast Charging, short circuit protection or similar, then no, it has to have ICs and those could do a lot of things that are hard to detect.
My guess would be no, as even the basic use case of a modern charger (for example) requires a functioning computer. Shielding is only a temporary option too because the device could just buffer the data and wait for the opportunity to send.
My guess is, if there is a proof of malicious act, the governments should severely punish the originating company. To act as a deterrent, i.e.: "you can get away with this exactly once".
