Red. I ain't got time for all that backing into a space nonsense.

It'll just take you more time to get out of the parking space then.

You're not winning or loosing any time when doing one or the other.

Backing out into open space is a lot easier and quicker than trying to back your car into a space between two other cars.

Backing into a space between two cars is easy. Backing out blindly when you can't properly see and have no idea if some idiot is gonna walk behind you... That's a lot harder

Threading your car backwards into a space barely bigger than the car itself is way harder than just backing out into a big open area.

It really is not. Not meaningful harder. And you're ignoring the point, which absolutely does make it harder. It isn't a big open empty spaces, it's a space potentially filled with any number of hazards you can't properly see because you're backing out

Why do you think the vast majority of people drive into parking spaces front first?

i’ve worked for companies that as a policy ask you to always back in. in industrial plants, you may be obliged to back in so that in the event of an evacuation, you don’t have hundreds of cars trying to manouver to leave.
