That being said, dwell times are still far too long. There is a solid 10-15+ seconds of minimal boarding/disembarkment before the doors finally close at most stations.
People will use the time they are given. If they have time to wait until the train stops before getting up, that’s what they will do. If they start missing their stop by doing that (or close to it) they will charge their behaviour.
