And why can't other drivers actually *use* bus lanes when available?
Because at those hours, the bus lane is invariably blocked by parked
cars.

Which is fine, if parking is allowed at those hours.

Which, at the hours when we tend to be driving, it normally is.

However, I often find that the bus lane is clear and empty.

Would I therefore be correct in assuming that you often drive between
10.00 am and 4.00 pm on a weekday, when many bus-lanes are available for
other drivers to use?

This however, also encourages overtaking in the left, which is
fundamentally dangerous.

Swings and roundabouts!
