Everyone at an airport is either going to board an airplane; going to drop someone who is departing; going to meet someone who is arriving or works at the airport. The same is not true of a public toll road. People are going to completely different destinations. Your analogy is invalid. Sorry.

Yes. Absolutely. If DFW or BWI were to institute a policy requiring all non-crew members to stay in line, many, if not all, businesses would simply relocate elsewhere. Conversely, very few, if any, businesses would want to rent airport floor space with this obstacle in place.
Airport management simply will not institute this sort of policy.
What you and others overlook is that this is not TSA policy. The airlines are the ones who promulgate this policy. And I don't see them changing it. Ever.
This is a nice fantasy. Hate to splash cold water on it.
