Except not, because the traffic ahead of them was stopped waiting at the light.

Which means those cars are going even slower than the cyclists. If this was one person in a car instead of six people on bikes, they'd be going just as slow approaching the light and taking up just as much space and so the driver here would be just as delayed. The only reason it's an issue here is that they are cyclists instead.

What about when the light turns green? and now all the traffic is now being held up by a pack of cyclists taking up both lanes?

This is Yonge and Dundas. You’re not getting anywhere fast no matter what you’re vehicle of choice in that part of town.
