I live in the UK - domestic flights haven’t featured significantly in my life. As in my comment doesn’t have them as context.
The only domestic flight I remember taking was flying from Edinburgh to Cardiff and it took almost as long as taking the train (whilst being significantly more hassle).
If your connection is that tight then it’s que sera sera and you knew that when you booked. People are not out there conspiring to be slow to make you late. Grow up.
I’ve had an 8 hour layover dropped to 45 minutes before. You genuinely don’t know the length of your layover until your first plane lands regardless of what you booked.
Not everyone books their own flights. When I traveled for work the executive assistant booked ours. She tried to give us long enough layovers, but it’s not always an option.
This is the way to think about it. Maybe a little less condescending, but que sera. I do everything I can to be on time, and I’m early 99% of the time, and so if shit happens and I’m caused to be late, through either my own fault or that of others, que sera. I’ll notify whoever needs notifying and just go along.
Shit happens. And shit compounds shit. I refuse to stress over it and make everything worse.
If you don’t have checked baggage on a domestic flight then being in the back of the plane just means you’re waiting longer to get on with your day

So? Decelerate your life a bit.
This sounds like you’ve never missed a connecting flight. There are plenty of reasons people want to get off the plane.

And what if your first flight gets delayed by several hours for any number of reasons?

Seconded :) why stress out over missed flights - if it’s the airlines fault, they will also rebook you & get you a hotel if needed. Happens…
How about you accelerate yours a bit
