I looked it up to see if they provide reasoning for it, and discovered that they've removed the language about where to cruise (at least I couldn't easily find it) since I took the test years ago, but they're kind of saying it between the lines:

Here are some tips for choosing a lane:

Use the left lane to pass or turn left. Use the right lane to enter or exit traffic or when you enter the road from a curb or shoulder.

Sidenote: In my experience, on/off ramps in California are ridiculously short, often with low visibility until you're on it, so they're kind of relying on the right lane not being all that crowded.

Yea, in cities it can make sense to cruise in the middle lane. Where there's an exist every few miles, nah, keep to the right.
