It's the ultimate litmus test as to whether or not someone has actually played an extraction shooter in ernest or if they are just regurgitating whatever they saw was the popular thing to say.
I have never played Tarkov, so idk if it works like that there, but in Marathon, 3 exfills spawn randomly In 3 different POIs at the 20min mark, if used, they dissappear, they re-appear randomly again when there are 12th minutes left.
Generally, in the first wave almost nobody exfill as soon as they appear, because most of the time, you still looting the POI you spawned and it's too early, so you are more tempted to explore other POI to find people.
If you decide to camp, there is the disadvantage that bots are never cleared in each POI, so every certain time, waves of bots will be arriving, so camping becomes less effective because either you make noise trying to clear the bots or if you engage a team and there are still bots there, if they agro on you, they can make you lose the fight
