Phones have a handy little speaker at the top that goes against your ear. Only you can hear the other party and no one else around you has to. Have these people forgotten this exists and jumped straight to speakerphone?
Speaker phone being “hands-free” isn’t a good reason either, because in an airport environment you’d be holding your phone while talking on speakerphone anyway.
