Not all airlines assign seats. I know Southwest doesn't, you just find an empty seat once you board. In that case it makes sense to stand in line.
Southwest assigns you a position in line. You can pay for a better one. Their passengers don't spend a lot of time waiting in ad-hoc lines before their group is called like other airlines.
But your position in line is assigned. When they ask the A group to line up and the Bs start hovering they're not accomplishing anything.
Absolutely.
