While I do agree with most of what you say, I do on occasion punch the throttle to create extra room behind me. Say for instance you're overtaking a truck on a 2 lane, and there's a regular road car behind said truck that is going to want to overtake as well in a second but can't because I'm in the left lane. (Note that this is Europe where one drives on the right lane unless there's a good reason not to).
If I were to overtake the truck at the speed limit, the other car would have to drop his speed significantly and may even cause a dangerous situation. If I put on the gas for a bit he can follow in behind me and everyone ends up better off.
As for the Dunning-Kruger, I know I'm not a better driver than most people
