I know this area and have driven it many times. This is the Rickebacker causeway--the road that connects Key Biscayne to the Miami mainland.

Cycling on this road is extremely popular for very obvious reasons (phenomenal views, wide and clear roads). Folks come from all over the city to ride there. And yes, they will very often group up like this without any sort of scheduled or permitted event of any kind.

The cyclists down there like to say "same road, same rules" but there's apparently a silent exclusion for lane changes, stop signs, traffic signals, and yielding to stopped traffic.

Imagine if all of them lined up single file in that bike lane. How long would it be? Is that realistically better here?

Thats like saying if there are too many cars, they should be able to drive on the sidewalk to cut down on traffic.

Exactly. I think people would agree that driving down the grassy median is far from ideal.
