#8A friend of mine would do very noticeable vocal fry at the ends of some sentences, when laughingly speaking light-heartedly and enthusiastically about something.
She's also an MIT PhD, and I don't recall any vocal fry when speaking seriously about science or some other topic.
Before I learned that vocal fry was a thing, I thought she might be code-switching to a regional or socioeconomic group accent from where she grew up in the US, or a mannerism that a particular friend group evolved in a more carefree time.
Her voice sounded nice, and a little unique. And you don't want to ask, and risk making someone self-conscious about how they sound or look when they're happy or laughing. Whatever is natural is best.

Male vocal fry is much less common and mostly exclusive to older generations. I wouldn't say either of your examples are vocal fry.
