6. ATC decided to put the Malibu in first and get the C150 out of

This means nothing at a towered airport. Tower controllers have the option of
canceling the landing clearance and vectoring the landing aircraft out of the
way for faster aircraft if needed. I have heard it on the frequency routinely
and experienced it once firsthand while flying a C172 during a 35 knot
headwind/blinding lake effect snow event on final.

It should be a non-event. Sadly in this case it wasn't
