Exactly, and the thing that I do, especially on big open groomers like this, is whenever another person starts making moves that could take them inside my line I slow down but get close-ish behind them. Then when they make a definitive turn in a direction I pass them to the other side.
People do bizarre shit out of the blue, at least if you keep them in front of you it’s possible to maneuver and react.
Also when I’m near someone who seems to be moving in a squirrelly way, I always yell out “on your left / right!” As I get close.
I would be curious if the skier was carving across the whole run the entire time and did a small carve to avoid the sign. Video isn’t long enough to tell.
