Personally, I don't mind people making up or even talking on the phone on the train. But I can guess why those behaviors are considered rude in Japan. What they have in common is that they possibly make people feel alienated or kind of neglected. When someone started to make up or talk on the phone, the people around him or her would become objects, I mean, not humans, or people he or she doesn't have to care at all. I guess that kind of sense makes some people mad in Japan, where "accordance" is a noble virtue.
