I tend to think that the aversion is due to drivers, particularly in the winter, not wanting to have their car sprayed with gravel by the car in front of them. The gap between one car and another isn't to allow someone else to merge into it; it is to keep the rock debris that gets kicked out by the car ahead from wacking the car behind.
If you can keep someone from getting in front of you, you stand a better chance of not having your windshield pocked and hammered by flying gravel. Thus the need/desire to keep people from letting someone into one's lane.
