Defence is all about defending something. If you move to the furthest point then you are not defending. You arent helping to defend the point, item, or your team-mates...who are now getting shot in the back, and now they have to defend the hole made by someone not being there.

Continually running to the north, south, east and west suggests that you are only covering 25% of the possible directions at any time. If you run past your team-mate(s) you have again created a defensive hole, forcing your team-mate(s) to split their focus to include where you just ran away from.

By remaining in close proximity you can help cover each others arcs when its time for a reload, heal, buff, etc. Not being their means you arent helping and you arent being helped.

Its probably fair to say that a team acting as a team will successfully finish quicker than a group of individuals running around like headless chickens to the far reaches of the map who fail at defending the central item.
