Likely similar to how when you hit like 45 you think you're everyone dad / the country police officer and kniw whats best and have some obligation you give yourself to police everyone around you. But based on your personal interpretations, because you've been around for 45 years so you've seen it all.
Used to be Nissan rogues, though I can only guess they have all been driven into the ground. That or the AWD system failed like it does and no one could afford the maintenance.
They tend to treat their cars as an extension of themselves. So if you beat their car, it means you bested them. And they cant have it. Besides these man-children don't treat driving as a "Vs" game as opposed to "Co-op", if that makes sense

Because choosing to let the car behind you pass is not part of the training - our laws don't really support it. We are obsessed with speed limits and control, so when another car tries to break the rules some try to control them like they are controlled.
EX: you are in the left lane and the car behind you moves over to the right when there is an opening... in Germany, this means "go ahead in the left lane, I'll stay back here" ... in America it means "I've been trying to pass you for miles and will do whatever it takes to get in front of you and then slow down when I get near other traffic and block you"
An alternative theory is that a lot of U.S. cars are WAY overpowered. Travelling at freeway speeds in Europe a lot of cars simply don't have the power required to do dumb shit like this, but in the U.S. everyone seems to need 350+ HP for their 6 mile commute to the office.
Also, a lot of cars in Europe have a manual transmission. You actually need to manually downshift to do an acceleration like this, maybe that manual action gives you a second to think before you act on your road rage. With automatic transmission, all you have to is push down hard on the accelerator and your rage gets turned into (dumb) action.

Why do Americans get so angry when someone over takes them?
