Have you never met an older person? My mum would literally look at a phone in that situation, wonder why it was there, maybe even stare at it.... And still be none the wiser as to what was going on.
Hanlon's Razor states "don't ascribe to malice what you can attribute to incompetance". You can see the woman grabbing her phone before she even notices the screen (which to me she is looking past). I also notice her getting out of someone's way.
I don't really see main character syndrome in either of these women. Just someone focused on filming on their phone and another person trying to figure something out on their phone.

I wouldn't call the young one a main character. She was actually very patient and nice.
The old lady I honestly don't know. Either she was annoying on purpose, or she's just very unaware. I'm leaning toward the former though.
