It's not a totally invalid point - but here's the thing. Standing to one side is common courtesy in just about every country. The only difference really is which side you stand to.

Yes it's great when everyone stands to the same side - but standing to either side will still allow someone to get past generally speaking.

In OP's case and in lots of cases from my anecdotal observations people are standing smack in the middle without a care in the world or a thought to anyone else.

Yeah that would be super frustrating. I just seem to see a lot of clueless people standing on the right, with their heads in the clouds, not noticing that all the people standing still are on the left for some reason.
