In both cases it was not a gee whiz on their parts it was a "stick it to you" move.

So now one is forced to minimize the gap between one's vehicle and the one in front, reducing reaction time in the case of some burp that needs to be responded to, to reduce the odds of some Yay For Me person jamming themselves in.

This situation will presumably get better temporarily with the Easter exodus north, but I expect will be even worse as time goes by. Morse is the only decent north / south artery in TV center. Buena Vista wanders about too much, Rolling Acres is truncated, 301 is too far west and 27/441 is too far east. So these vast numbers of folks being added south of The Bexley Bridge who want to go to their doctors up by BJs, will all be joining us.

What really makes this intersection bad are people who feel like they need to leave a full car length behind the car in front of them at a stop light. You see this all the time at this intersection.
