Ringtones were the stupidist thing ever back in the mid '00s. Every student in a class basically had their custom ringtone to show off. It was a status thing. Also just having a phone that could do it was like showing you had the LATEST phone. RAZR phones. Now since all phones are ubiquitous in features, it's really just seen wholly as obnoxious (which it always was, but now accepted as obnoxious by all).

Counterpoint: now that nobody has a custom ring tone, all the iphones sound the same so you have to check if you were the one who got a call.
