Really? Who says - apart from you?
Who says otherwise?
EDIT: Just to add a bit more info:
There's no doubt that vacating a pad as soon as you've finished with it is a "nice thing to do" as it poses less inconvenience to other players and helps the CG to move along.
However, it's not an enforceable rule - no player has ever received an in-game parking fine for exceeding the time limit on a landing pad. Nor have Frontier ever stated any sort of pad blocking rule like they have with combat logging or the unlimited G5 reroll glitch. At best, it is an unwritten "social rule" that many players follow.
Of course, if somebody
frequently and
repeatedly blocks pads just for the lulz, then it could possibly fall afoul of Frontier's harrassment or Mobius's "don't spoil another's game" rule, but that would have to be pretty extreme case.
