Fishing Cabin,
First, please realize I'm not trying to harass you. Frankly, you have always been reasonable, and are being reasonable now, so you're simply a good person to play devil's advocate with.
But here's my take on the chase vs intercept in a bottleneck scenario:
Most chases don't involve bank robbers. Going for the intercept at lower overall rates of speed has a safety advantage, and when the likeliest threat posed by the chased is ramming or hitting something with the car, then taking advantage of the bottleneck and low speed impacts might make sense.
When the chased has to be assumed to be armed (for instance, a bank robber and possible kidnapper), and likely to employ violence, particularly firearm violence, an open area seems very preferable to a crowded one.
