Why pay for TSA pre?

I was travelling out of SAN today and they were using the dogs . Makes sense to me: close to the border, cocaine bust earlier this week and Spring Break. However, then everyone is now TSA-pre. But they have no idea what to do and the lie backs up.

What is the point of paying for TSA-pre when everyone gets it for free, and more importantly it makes the lines much longer for TSA-pre. It is a bit of a first world problem, and I know I sound like a DYKWIA but it was extremely frustrating.

I actually pay for GE but as a green card holder it only works 50% of the time. May not bother renewing my GE (and associated TSA pre).
