If a driver is more comfortable waiting at the stop bar until they are confident it is safe to make their turn, that is what they should do. They are under no obligation to do what they are not comfortable with to expedite your journey.

I agree. Driving defensively takes precedence for me. Why move into the intersection to wait for it to be clear when traffic is so steady that I know damned well it won't ever be clear? That just leaves me sitting in the middle of the intersection after my light has turned red. Depending on the people coming towards me who squeeze their yellow light until it screams, I may very well still be sitting there when cross traffic gets their green and they have to wait for me to finish my turn before they can proceed. Which maneuver is liable to make the most people wait?
I only proceed into the intersection when traffic is light and there's all probability of me being able to turn on solid green.
