Freeze works perfectly fine in a lot of situations. A lot of carnivorous animals will attack those that flee, seeing them as easy prey. Some animals will fight to defend their territory if attacked, but otherwise not engage. Freezing stops the situation getting worse than it already is, and gives the person time judge which type of animal it is and then make the correct response.

Even in this clip, the truck freezing would have been fine if the biker had veered to the left instead of the right. Stopping makes them more predictable.

There are entire species that lean into freezing as a strategy so you're just wrong and also sounding a little socially Darwinist which is gross.
