That's your fault.

And at very crowded stations if people didn't do that it would take
twice as long to clear the passengers making the overcrowding even
worse

No, not significantly. You should be able to put the ticket in and
take the ticket out without breaking stride. If you can't do that due
to overcrowding, it's the overcrowding that's slowing you down and
waiting for the person in front to clear the gate isn't going to slow
you down further.
