What people like you miss is that you should actually move to the right before someone comes up behind you. There is literally no value to staying in the left lane when not passing.
You're missing the point of the op. People who speed and tailgate while other people are trying to drive normally and pass safely are assholes. They're not talking about the odd person who is just in the left lane for no reason. In my experience, this is pretty rare anyway. If I'm passing multiple vehicles, I'm not dipping over to the right, because that car that was just on my ass will sit there with their dick in their hand instead of accelerating and passing me. I'll finish passing the 2-3 trucks and get over when there is adequate space to do so.
Nothing wrong with using the passing lane for passing and I never indicated as such. Everyone should drive at a speed comfortable to them...in the right lane, unless passing.
The people who complain about left lane camping really mean anybody going slower than they want to go. Sure, is the right lane is clear, then move over. But moving over just to let one person pass and then getting back in the left lane to pass is what causes traffic problems. It's better if nobody changes lanes, than it is to speed.
