More often than not, they respond in kind by giving me plenty of room.

I don't know if I see it your way. When you bike in the middle of the lane the car behind you might beep or curse you out but they won't run you over on purpose.
When you hug the curb the driver will pass you on the left when there is not quite enough room and that's when you could get clipped, especially if there is a bottle or some other obstacle near the curb and you have nowhere to swerve but left.
If you biked in traffic for any length of time you know what I mean. The rest of you will have to guess what it's like.
