They likely did. My only point was that the GA asked for a specific passenger, asked the other passengers to let him come forward, and they basically didn't move even after turning around to look at me standing right behind them waving my hand.. In this case, it seemed a bit more than the usual please, let other passengers with tight connections deplane first. They did let me through when I asked politely, as well as another gentleman just behind me. I think the other posters nailed it correctly when they said you have to be willing to bull your way politely forward to a degree.
I may have left that info out of the original post, sorry.
