You are absolutely correct. Even those who do know this seem to want the law to only apply when it benefits them (having the same right to use the road as cars) and not when it inconveniences them for 30 seconds (coming to a complete stop at red lights and waiting for the green before entering the intersection.)

If that's true, the bicyclist who rolls past cars waiting at a traffic light to get to the front IS BREAKING THE LAW, as in your opinion, unless the lane is at least 12 feet wide, you would easily say that "The lane is too narrow for a bicycle and a motor vehicle to safely travel side by side."

However, by rolling passed the cars waiting at a red light, the bicyclist is indicating VERY CLEARLY that they think there's enough room for a bicycle and a car to share the lane, so they're hypocrites and childish if they whine when a car driver agrees with them and shares their lane after the light turns green.

That driver is only holding the bicyclist to the bicyclist's own standards. That's not rage - that's the Golden Rule.
