It's wild that this is so heavily upvoted.
Yeah if there's solid traffic, there's no need to go weaving around, but just planting in the middle lane for your whole trip sounds like selfish behaviour.
Trucks, my dude. A single truck enters the highway and slows down the entire right lane until it can get up to speed. Do this for hundreds of trucks per day across a handful of exits, plus all the other traffic, and right lane congestion is nearly constant. I don't know where you are, but in the US middle/left lanes are sometimes signed for "Thru Traffic Only" to avoid additional congestion and slowdowns in the right lane.
