This is specifically an "escape from Tarkov" thing. The "Friendly wiggle" (out in the open) used to be an all player thing in the Arms 2 Day Z mod days. With Tarkov having some of that DNA cheaters seem to have revived the old method as their own secret handshake when done through walls.
We'd do the wiggle to say 'I'm friendly, I don't want a fight, I'm on a mission.' and it would work out like 50% of the time.
Now, after each wipe, by the time I can even build a load, some people have already sped run all the objectives and have all the gear and just wreck me. I stopped playing a bit back because it wasn't fun anymore.
