It doesn't mean less time in the intersection if the cyclist is starting from standing. Bicycles are slow to get up to speed, motor vehicles, cars and e-scooters, will always get through the intersection before a cyclist will. That's why they run red lights so often: cold starts take more effort and time and can be less safe than running it.
