while that is possible (implementing the radio modem for the MS and e.g.
running OsmocomBB on top) - what is the purpose?

If you want simulation with custom implementations for both sides, you can
skip the radio link altogether and simply tunnel Um over UDP between a virtual
BTS and a virtual MS.

The point of running a real Um interface on the air is to use existing
telephones 'as-is'.  And then you have to operate in the bands they support.
