Just gotta love the doublestandard.
It does go to the larger problem being the same issue in every jurisdiction that has a bike lane. Some jurisdictions may make allowances for obstructions in the bike lane, but others don't. Those that don't, do the same as in the video.

While I am in no way suggesting it, I wonder what said jurisdictions would think if, a cyclist by not going out of the bike lane saw someone standing in the bike lane that was about to jay-walk, and collided with the jay-walker to prove a point. That is what the stupidity about staying in the bike lane 100% amounts to.
