Airlines really need to relearn discoverable UX. They co-opted the seatbelt sign overhead to always be on (signaling “our policy is that you have seatbelts fastened at all times when not moving around”), and so now there’s no longer a light to mean “sit down and please don’t move around at all”, which that light used to mean as far as I recall from 5-10 years ago. You have to hope you heard the FA announcement, which if you have headphones on (or for a million other reasons), you probably didn’t.
