So yes sprint could technically block wifi, but if they did that it wouldn't be possible to use their app. What you're saying is physically impossible.

You're about halfway there, but not quite all the way...
It's not impossible at all. They can easily push over the air updates that work in the background to enable or disable the hardware on the device.
