Fair point, not going to argue that.

I've been splitting on mountain & motorbikes for decades, where I am the lanes are just about wide enough to split, if someone tries to ram you they're not getting much speed to hit you & I'm going at a pace where I can stop if something seems dodgy.

They're also not getting away easily with the traffic here, so words (or an exchange of metal knuckled gloves ) may be had.

The knee sliders have a nice collection of mostly very expensive german paintwork from cars whose drivers act the prick, if anything most drivers pull over to give a little extra room to make sure they don't get scratched as the bike passes.
