I really do not know why it is that air travel seems to be a magnet for every slob and every lunatic going.
It is not only air travel where bad behavior is rampant. Last week I was at my gym and was taking a dry sauna after completing my workout. Within the male only, clothing optional sauna was a man dry shaving his face with a blade razor without shaving creme or anything to catch his whiskers which were flying all over the sauna. He was oblivious to the stares of the other people in the sauna who were observing his behavior.
It is my impression that nowadays, people feel empowered to behave any way they wish, and that other people's opinions are to be mocked and ignored by the transgressor. Did Pucci's F class passenger lack the common sense that says you don't cut your toe nails in public and in front of people. I doubt it. (S)he probably knew better but just felt so impowered that she didn't care what others felt.
