Yeah. If I stayed in the right lane, every couple miles I'd need to change lanes to avoid an exit only, or free up space for entering traffic to merge. But that leaves one of not two open lanes to my left.

Also changing lanes is stressful for me: the situation changes quickly, and even after checking blind spots I've almost sideswiped someone a couple times. (Also honked to keep a pair of cars in front of me from picking the same moment to shift into each other.)

So, I get the principle, and I also am annoyed with slow traffic in the left lane. But if there's room to pass on the left, that's what I see as necessary.
