Not sure I agree totally with your view piltdown man.
If pax choose not to listen or watch it then it serves no purpose but stopping short of clamping their eyes open and parading up and down the aisle with a sergeant majors stick we cant help that. If the pax do watch and listen then should something happen the info is in their long term memory and some of it maybe not all will help to possibly save their life. It only needs to be remembering that an exit might be behind you and that would be enough to stop a mass stampede to the front door.
Although you raise an interesting point, the demo is a bit boring to the masses, so what could we do instead that takes the same time.............any ideas folks?
