For a long haul flight, I am certainly in no rush to board (especially for a bus gate) so typically hang back in the lounge until as close as possible to the end of boarding. Highly likely there would be more than one GGL/Prem onboard but just they didn't bother with the Group 0 boarding process (or they were important enough not to be part of the general bus boarding process, etc). In contrast, the three times Group 0 has been successfully called on my flights between LCY and ZRH so far I have not been alone in each case. I think only one GGL onboard is pretty rare on the most status heavy short haul routes, let alone somewhere like JFK.
