IMO the examples are ridiculously unlikely.

I’d very much focus on something more business-oriented and believable, like a question about a report and in an extreme case, possibly speaking about a client in a less than professional tone.

“meet me in the bathroom” is not within the realm of feasibility for anyone I know.

I don't think that's the point. Many of us have ourselves or seen someone we know go up to present and have private notifications be displayed as they hustle to turn on Do not Disturb. While they aren't as extreme as this, these are funny and make the viewer recall a time when they were in this situation, and perhaps see how much better they'd be if the downloaded the app.

Yeah, but then it wouldn't be funny.
