I am charging from ac faster than the leaf next to me is charging from dc. If the lead were using the ac, I could use the dc and be finished now. This leaf owner is rude.

Maybe when they arrived someone was using the ac charging spaces.

I eventually met them, they had been there all morning charging because they wanted to go to Warrington which they claimed had no chargers (it has at least five chademo ones) and they had the ability to charge from home but didn't want to (despite it being the same speed)

This will be an issue while rapid chargers don't have appropriate tariffs. Ideally something that has a minimum charge per minute connected. Then when the charge rate drops below say 50% of maximum the per-minute fee is greater.

50% is a bit rough, but certainly if it drops below the speed of the next connector down. E.g. If you're on CCS/CHAdeMO and you're below 6kW you should be on the AC instead.
