There is no bike lane in the posted video.
And when there is no bike lane, I do exactly that. Wait at the end of the queue as if I was a car.

You didn't say "if there was no bike lane"....the point is, you can get in exactly the same situation in a bike lane. Now you're saying there are contexts in which you may put yourself in that situation, which is why I said "I'd never do this" is almost certainly untrue.
As a cyclist, I'm quite sure you know drivers usually don't check for cyclists when turning even if there is a bike lane.
