What, do you think the crew is just going to sit there when this guy is the only thing keeping them from leaving? As soon as everything else keeping them from taking off is resolved they’ll politely tap him on the shoulder to let him know to put the guitar away.

The “old guy” was right. As long as all passengers aren’t sitting down all buckled up the plane can’t go anywhere even if the tower would allow it.

Flights don’t get delayed because someone is standing or unbuckled.

They can be. The cabin crew will communicate to the flight crew when the interior is ready, they won’t takeoff without it, and someone refusing to sit down or buckle up definitely counts as not ready.
If a passenger gets up and causes a disturbance later, that would also get communicated to the flight crew and, shot of the plane having started its takeoff roll, there’s a good chance everyone is going back to the gate to remove this person.

I’ve always seen the flight attendants stand and wait until whatever they request has been adjusted. But 90% of my flying experience is in Europe so maybe it’s different in the US.

They do if the captain is waiting for the final go ahead from the tower. They can’t go anywhere until everything is secure and ready to go.
