In a situation like terminal B at DCA in the afternoon there is not a seat to be had, the Sky Club is full, and there is almost no standing room in the gate area, why not pre-board and at least be able to sit down.
You should fly Delta sometime. "Zone 1" is actually the fourth group to board - pre-boards, First Class, Sky Priority (elites) then finally "zone 1." Among other things, Delta can't count
