The right lanes are generally explicitly intended to be slower lanes. Making them optionally faster lanes can be dangerously disruptive. As well as, when the rightmost lane is used to pass, difficult for new vehicles to merge from side roads.

These laws are made so people know what to expect for safe driving. When we're all being chauffeured in autonomous vehicles it'll be safe to rethink them.
