Great. So now you miss the bus when you arrive at the stop on time and have to wait for the next one. (Matters less when the next one arrives a couple of minutes later of course.) Route planning in congested cities is a complex problem and following a schedule as close as possible is one of the ways to ensure you can do any kind of route planning involving a change of line.

Would buses be arriving 20 minutes earlier otherwise? I'd very much rather arrive at the station a little earlier than knowing I could already be at my destination if it weren't for these artificial punctuality stops.

No, you just turn up 20 minutes earlier and take the previous bus instead.
