There are 2 reasons for this Halacha. 1. The Shechina is there its not Kavod to walk there 2. By walking there you distract the person davening.

I know myself that if s/o walks infront of me especially within 2 feet of me its very distracting. Also when people take things off the table that’s immediately in front of you.

I have seen it brought down that someone who talks in shul and thereby distracts others who are davening are guaranteed 100% that their Tefillos WILL NOT BE ANSWERED!!!

I would think similarly, doing anything that will distract anothers Davening will have similar repercussions.

People often wonder (I’m referring to those who actually daven with kavana) why their tefillos don’t get answered. Often, the answer lies in their shul etiquette.
