This is entirely voluntary.
I’m not sure what this is beyond saying “if you want, you can put your phone away!”
You always had that option everywhere. Are people more tempted to phone if they see other people on their phones? I never felt that.

You need a strong personality to ignore 'society' when practically everyone wants you to stop doing something. Social pressure is very powerful.
The island will not just be a few signs you can easily ignore. Using your phone there will be considered antisocial behavior.

Where did you get everyone? I assumed this is just a marketing campaign started by a few people.
But anyways, why does it matter? Will my silly hat experience not be as good if other people aren’t wearing one? I’m wearing for myself.
A designated place matters for the experience: you can expect that the door frames and ceilings will be adjusted to accommodate your hats (i.e. no one will require a phone from you to do basic things).
You may also expect other people to already be in the same mental space as you, or learning to see the world from a new perspective at the same time as you are.
