The rider described in the OP stays off the shoulder, but none of us except
labas has seen this road so I imagine he has his reasons. But in a situation where there is a shoulder to ride on, that's where I'll be.
The shoulder in this instance is identical to to the road. The only thing that sets it apart is the white dividing line. Seeing how aggressive this fellow rides, my thought is that he is just making a statement about his legal right to share the road.
