If people want to drive during peak seasons, let them wait a few extra minutes at chargers? This seems like a problem that supply and demand will solve pretty efficiently.

Sure, if it's just a few minutes. I've heard of 4 hour waits at Thanksgiving. If it's that or worse "supply and demand" will result in people buying gasoline vehicles instead of electric vehicles.
The concern is that problems like Thanksgiving will decrease the demand for EVs.
