It's deeper than that.
People have been doing this since cars became fast. There's something in our brains that automatically turns driving into a battle.

Nah, it's not just driving cars - I've seen the same happen with shopping carts in the grocery store.

I mean, you roll up on anyone in an aggressive/adversarial manner, regardless of the situation, you’re more likely to encourage pushback than agreement/compliance. Even if it’s just the perception of aggression, our primate brains are wired to stand our ground. Doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right, it’s about locking horns. It’s why online arguments are the way they are.
