You're objectively right but people will refuse to hear it and prefer to believe that they've discovered a secret trick to go 10-15mph over the speed limit at all times because they've never gotten pulled over for doing it. It's like trying to convince someone that you're not supposed to drop your trash on the ground wherever you want in public. You're not supposed to do it, and there are rules for it for a reason, but as long as they never see consequences they can't comprehend why they shouldn't do it.

Even worse is that it's become commonly accepted by people because it's a peer pressure issue that everyone behaves like assholes on the road in regards to the left lane. The point is to share the road, try to move over, & if you want to go slower be in the right lane. But if you're going at the limit or right above it, you can go in the left lane & not actually have someone scream at you through their window & flip you off like I've had people do before.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to shoot me over it eventually, the laws in my state do not specify the left lane as the "go as fast as you want" lane.
