Why does it matter when others play the “wrong” move at a blackjack table

The odds of the other person getting a card they want doesn’t necessarily change, so why does it effect anybody when a player doesn’t play by the chart

People like to act like they ‘knew’ the next card. When the guy with 16 hits and gets 20 no one complains, but when he busts and the dealer has a 5 showing (you always assume the facedown is worth 10) the dealer would have gotten the card instead and the table would have won. But because the ‘other guy’ took the card now the dealer may get something lower

in the long term does it matter? No, but people focus on just this hand, which we now lost because you took the card destined for the dealer
