You can choose to drive a different speed than the person next to you. Even if that means going slower.
Instead now there’s an army of cars building up behind you, none of them with an appropriate following distance. As soon as anything interrupts the flow of traffic now there’s 20+ people running the risk of getting into an accident. Or even worse causing waves of braking an accelerating which leads to traffic jams.

It’s the responsibility of the following car to maintain the appropriate distance, not the one in front.
Nice of you to highlight that you think traffic jams are worse than accidents as well.
