Buses don't stop at unoccupied bus-stops, unless someone dings the bell.
The faster bus skipping stops where people are waiting, so they can be picked up by the next bus does work; I've seen it in action.

Most bus stops I have used in the US dont have covered shelters or enough space for passengers to wait outside of the elements. Usually this means sitting under the overhang of a nearby business. If the bus doesn't want to stop for whatever reason and blows by, it sucks.
Maybe a better future would be a public bus app or button at the stop that I can press to say I am waiting, but until that day, they should stop.
