Most flights I don't see an issue with priority boarding. Wouldn't someone rather wait in the priority line 60 seconds than stand off to the side for 60 seconds until group 2 is called?
Try boarding a UA flight at the end of group 2, if you're in E+. The E+ bins are full, and the ones further back are completely empty.

There's definitely a benefit to being able to board before the priority lice
