You could just pop to the cafe, 20 feet away, and take a photo of your sausage bap, whilst fights break out outside over the ladder erected to get on top of the trig point.
Does doing something "for charity" give you special rights?

To be fair I think that would justify going straight to the front

I agree that the problem here is the "need" of people to have the proper selfie with just them in it
without that then the queu is no longer necessary
and people might just take a quick photo and wander around the summit and enjoy the view and everything
Instead they "have" to queue up because only one person can take the required selfie at a time

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
You can't really knock selfie-taking unless you knock a whole load of other stuff.
Selfies are just a manifestation if our box-ticking urge. If it's not on Strava it didn't happen, Monroe bagging, twitchers, Eddington number obsessives.
A lot of us do it. We can't just go for a walk or a ride, we have to have a box to tick, we have to get to the top of something or ride a challenge distance or maintain a streak. It's natural, there's nothing wrong with it. At least, there isn't until we start trying to impose our silly rules on others.

It isn't teh selfie that causes an issue (in this particular situation), it is the desire to have a selfie with nobody else in it - so that it appears deserted apart from you.
To be honest anyone who thinks people are going to be impressed by a picture of them at the top of a mountain in the UK whether they or not they are the only ones in the picture they are so deluded they need detaining under the MHA.

Maybe a box helps shorties get on top of the trig point?

When I used to go up mountains

Seems they replaced the old 'trig' point some years back with a conical construction.
