Well, it’s not. Cyclists are encouraged to wait in front of traffic in bike boxes by the Highway Code, they aren’t being dicks, they’re following the rules.
By stopping in front, cyclists in theory are safer by being more visible, can get underway and into position for turning before traffic and they’re not sat in pollution from drivers. Perhaps get a bit of patience and read the HC whist you’re at it?

Flip side to the above is the number of cyclists who don't have the sense to realise stopping ahead of every vehicle at a red light is often completely pointless.
Really boils my piss when they then get away first and hold up both the car and me who was sensibly waiting behind it.
