“Impeding traffic” is quite the euphemism for “forcing people to slow down and drive the speed limit.” Call it what it is, a mild inconvenience that you wouldn’t even experience if you were following the rules that you’re upset about people breaking!
And the people who are “speeding but still being safe” do impact others too. It makes it much more dangerous for drivers doing the limit to merge into the left lanes in case of stopped vehicles, slow trucks, and merging traffic.
Again, the speed limits usually aren’t appropriate for the highways they’re applied to so they don’t make sense unlike rules regarding lane usage. If they did I wouldn’t be complaining. It’s also not anyone besides law enforcement’s job to enforce them. By doing so you are creating an unsafe situation by packing all the traffic together.
If you need to merge into the left lane you simply wait for the faster traffic to go by. Are you suggesting that it’s dangerous to cut people off? Because yea, it should be.
I think the core issue here is that you believe that it should be common and accepted for individuals to decide whether traffic rules “make sense” and ignore them based on their own individual assessment. I think that’s absurd.

It’s not my individual assessment. It’s a well known fact that highways are engineered for higher speeds than the speed limits are set for.
