The arrival of a new player forces the moment of decision and amplifies whatever anxiety the player has about missing out on their choice.
It's the same reason why the last piece of cake is so much more desirable than just a normal second piece. Oh, sure, you could have just taken two, but you didn't know how urgent it would feel when the option of more cake was about to be taken away from you.
