Nothing works for everyone and every situation. If you were a brain surgeon, for example, you'd truly be in a situation where you couldn't drop everything to take a call, not matter how important. Your example of your wife is also a good one. But most of us don't have that kind of circumstance. Most people could prioritize thier families above everyone else, but choose not to.
For myself, I'm not a lawyer or a surgeon, just an IT guy, but I'm proud to say I have walked out of meetings to answer a call from my wife.

Not that these folks are going to have some times when direct incoming personal calls will be OK - but all the time, no way!
