When resources are abundant and unlimited, that's attitude is *fine.* When they are scarce, it is *not fine.*

To reject any attempt to inject any equity into the situation is selfishness and entitlement. It's done out of the notion of "well someday, it'll be my turn to ride the ride as much as I want to until I'm sick of it." Yeah, except you forgot the key part - the same people who can't join the line until it's longest probably also have to be home by midnight.

That's nice that you're fine with that, but I'm not and I'd prefer they implement something to more equitably distribute the burden of having to queue amongst the playerbase.
But the player having a 15 hour play session made a choice to adjust their life to allow for such a thing.

Just like I made a choice to not attempt to take off work today (it would have likely gotten denied due to other circumstances) and am now sitting in a queue waiting to get online.

And if you limit everyone to say 3 hours, what's to stop everyone from trying to play during the same 3 hours? Now you have a worse situation.

If you force players to register for a time slot, then you have friends who get split up because they can't get into the same time spot. And some people like to progress together with their friends through the MSQ as much as possible so that they can talk about the game and not have to worry about who is ahead of whom for the sake of avoiding spoilers.

And what happens if a player is in a cut scene or duty at their end of time hits?

The solution, while it would potentially work to solve the problem, would create a host of other probable problems that I put at a higher value than the current problem. And I'm currently experiencing the fruits of said problem (in queue or attempting to get in queue since about 40 minutes ago, hoping to not get dropped during dinner).
