what blocks are 90% empty and there is a back log?

Essentially all.   None of the last 100 blocks were larger than 400KB.  Only 5 were larger than 300KB.   The vast majority are 100KB to 250KB.  More than 20 are <100KB.   The block size limit is 1MB.

why are miners creating a back log when they have plenty of space.

why not include all the TX's if there is space for them?
