Kinda puts a dent into the argument that the problem happens everywhere.

It's simple. The bars represent signal strength. Holding the phone in the death grip will knock 10-20 dB off your signal strength. If you are starting at -60, you are fine. If you are starting at -110, you'll drop the call.
I think it would be interesting if the people making these videos would make phone calls while performing the death grip. The number of bars isn't as tangible as a dropped call.
