Doubt.

The people described didn't give a shit then and don't give a shit now. It's not the unavailability of headphones causing people to suddenly be rude and self-centered.

There was a significant minority of people that only cared enough if it was easy for them to do so. It's now harder, so there's more people that gave up even trying.
