I agree with that in general, with two caveats.

Firstly, on public transport I think it's OK to answer a call for a brief conversation (i.e., I'm on my way, I'm running a bit behind, do you need me to pick anything up on the way, etc.) but not an extended conversation. Especially not a loud one full of personal details.

Secondly, talking while waiting in line is OK as long as the second you are actually dealing with a cashier or whatever, you put your fucking phone down and don't hold the line up for everyone else you ungrateful entitled little shit.

one of my coffee haunts in london ignores anyone on phone and serves next customer. it's super satisfying to watch. plus the sign says something like "we don't want to interrupt your call".
