In this case, I'm sympathizing with the other people still waiting in line.

Agreed. When you present yourself for check in at the counter then you should be ready to go. You shouldn't be given any additional time because you packed incorrectly. If you need additional time then accept the consequences and go back to the end of the line. If you don't want to go to the back of the line then pay the $50 for the overweight bag.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for your situation and to call Alaska Airlines evil extortionists is libelous. They gave you the option of "re-shuffling" the contents of your bag but just not at the expense of others waiting in line.
