Tough for them. It's not a race.

Right. You fly your pattern any way you want and to hell with everyone
else.
The intent is not to waste others' time or **** them off, but I'm not going
to endanger my safety for any reason. Different planes fly and land at
different speeds. Unless everyone doing touch-and-gos is flying the same
plane, with the same landing configuration, etc., somebody will eventually
have to 360 or widen the pattern or something to adjust.
