Their bikes are probably air cooled which means if they're sitting for extended periods of time the bike over heats.
I know it was legal in California to ride on the shoulders during traffic for this particular reason.

Exactly this. When there's a traffic jam we can't sit there idling like cars and trucks without overheating. It's not that we think we're "better", it's just that we can't sit in traffic for long.
