Anyone who speeds up just to prevent you from passing them deserves to be shot. But that’s just my opinion and I’m not advocating it.

In principle, we are in agreement. It is one of the most dangerous things you can do. I’ve actually had a couple of “slightly” dangerous attempts to pass. In each case I had to cut the guy off, ultimately.

It’s not as dangerous as one thinks. The car coming the other way always slows down or starts heading for the shoulder - even when they don’t need to. I’ve had oncoming cars flash their lights at me (indicating they thought my passing was dangerous) when, in fact, it was several seconds before they passed my car.

As I said earlier, there is great variance between drivers in skill.
