I don't fly fish, but I think that you've made a good analogy. This is what I say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" for example, if I'm fishing in a spot where there's fifty guys throwing corkies and lead, I don't just step right into the middle of them and start throwing a jig and float. It's rude and it screws everyone else's drift up. It's the same thing with fly fishing. I see guys crowd flyfishermen all the time. It's like they somehow feel that the flyfishermen should move on over for the bait fishermen. I don't know where this logic comes from. Now, that being said, I've also seen flyfishermen wade into the middle of a bunch of drifters and then get pissed off because the drifters didn't just make room for the flyfisherman.... It works both ways.
