But isn't the reason those drivers get upset is because they are
impatient, in a hurry and jealous that the motorcyclist is now ahead
of them?

It is all about playing by the rules, and the ones who think that they
are better than everyone else, and cutting to the front.

The rules depend on the location. In CA, lane splitting is legal,
so the motorcyclist who passes cars at a light is following the
rules. Even the motorcycle cops in CA lane split.

The only ones who **** me off are the ones that lane split at 70mph+
when traffic is rolling at ~40mph during rush hour. I just hope
they've signed their organ donor cards.

I agree. My goal is to be goign no more than 5-10mph faster than
the mean flow of traffic. This means that if something happend
unexpectedly, I only need to lose that 5-10 mph.

See, I don't do this stuff with reckless abandon like some
young testosterone driven buck in his flip-flops and shorts
while showing off to his girlfriend on the back that he can
do wheelies at 80mph on his brand new rice burner.
