I'd heard it started with air-cooled engines that would overheat stopped in traffic. Hel, even my little radiator-cooled girl gets hot stopped at lights, so I can see some logic.
As a driver, other riders splitting doesn't phase me but I talk to a lot of people who get freaked out, and I try to explain how to behave to them. Husband will split with me on the back sometimes, and I get how it works. I'm new enough to riding that I'm not doing it yet, for sure, but once I get enough experience? Sure, sometimes. Every bike that splits is one that's not taking up room in traffic and helps everybody behind them just a tiny bit. Just don't be dumb about it.
