People paying Business should be prioritised over people who are not.
As a group 0 (without special services) who frequently travels in Short Haul ET, I agree in general and the whole issue could have been avoided by making club Europe group 2, thus avoiding the 52 CE cabin scrum. Golds and GGLs could then board first stow their bags, and then no need for group 0.
Most of the G0s on here will, i think, make themselves known quietly at preboarding time rather than squeeze past the massed G1 queues but each to their own.
But in may 2026 the ranks of gold and ggl will be depleted so maybe a lot of the problems for those paying to fly F will disappear anyway.
