I try and give a roll through where it works, but there could be reasons not immediately obvious eg international traffic waiting to cross further down, tugs in and out of the alley, bay occupied, ground want you off at the rapid because that’s what they’ve planned on(or are too busy for ask to ask for a late notice change), a turboprop southbound on Charlie that hasn’t yet called but will likely be ready at the HP, director given the guy behind you a late notice change from R to L and jammed him in close behind.
Or the controller hasnt had enough coffee 🤷*♂️
