There is a period of time in which it becomes reasonable to honk at someone who hasn’t moved. In the extreme example it is not polite to sit behind someone who misses the green light entirely because they aren’t paying attention to the road. At some point the person in front is holding up traffic for everyone behind them and they are the one being rude.
The original discussion is specifically about people who honk instantly.
Obviously at a certain point it’s not only acceptable but necessary as parking at a green light is a road hazard itself.
You’re just accepting the altered framing from the original example to the counter example while I’m trying to keep it grounded on the original example.

The person at the top of this thread said that any honking causes them to “park at the green light”. They did not say anything about it being instant.
