In Florida, bicycles have every right to be on the road, by law.

Ok....drivers are unpredictable. You can't always anticipate them. In Florida, I deal with old people doped up on opiod painkillers, methheads, and assorted other crazies on the road.
As far as your second point....can't switch lanes if its a 2-lane undivided roadway. I live in a small town with few multilane roads.
I know I have my faults behind the wheel. I'm impatient, especially dealing with all elderly drivers driving 10 mph below the speed limit for no good reason, tourists who have no idea where they're going, etc. It gets frustrating many times. I've witnessed many unsafe maneuvers from drivers trying to move at a decent pace. I'm guilty of doing it too. I'm trying to get somewhere....I don't have the leisure of some retiree who has no place to be and drive like it's Sunday every day.

Some of the tech on my car malfunctions. If I am driving east in the morning, the sun casts shadows that makes my car think it's following too close to another vehicle, and will beep and flash a red light on my dash.
The app also doesn't take into account the context of my driving manuever. I had to brake fast because someone pulled out, not because I'm an agressive driver. I had to drift in my lane to give a bicycle room as I passed them, not because I'm inebriated or distracted.
Technology can be dumb, y'all.

A lot of tree companies hire sketchy people in general - ex-criminals, folks that just got out of jail, etc.

So much this! I had a couple of teachers who were assholes for no reasons. Nothing of value was taught or demonstrated by it.
If I happened to see said teachers out in public, I think I would probably spit in their faces due to the repressed anger I had/have toward them.

Yeah there's an image floating around on the internet for years now of a man selling a reflective item online, and he clearly took the photo while butt-naked.

I agree. There is respect missing on both sides, from cars and bicyclists.
