as well they might, and so what. The real problem arises when this sense of indignation is used an excuse to treat people who just so happen to share a mode of transport poorly. This mentality is the issue, not the people pissing about on bicycles whose behaviour, albeit illegal, is used as a convenient excuse for legitimising abuse.
A good reason for NOT jumping lights is that doing so passes all responsibility for your wellbeing onto everyone else in the immediate vicinity (drivers, walkers, other cyclists) - it's an abdication of personal responsibility which = a dick move in any environment.
some light toilet reading on the matter.
