In my opinion this tends to make people more likely to not react to the first call and so probably doesn’t help.
This has become quite the pet peeve for me. On several instances I've left the lounge when told and arrived at the gate, only to find boarding would be delayed 30 minutes or so. I've learned not to leave the lounge when they say the plane is ready for boarding.
