Part of the advantage of cycling is not having to sit in the middle of traffic jams. That is when the motorist seem to get the most pissed off, because they are stuck, too lazy to cycle and can only watch the cyclist ride through the jam. The motorist only have themselves to blame for causing the traffic jam.
That is a time where not filtering makes no sense.
Thinking about it I'm wondering if drivers complaints about filtering cyclists are realy more about cyclists filtering poorly. I had one do that recently. I was turning right and he filtered past and then sat partway in the crosswalk. Borderline dangerous, if I'd been agressively trying to make the turn I would already have been inching out and looking left.
