I think my decision to do this is based on my behaviour as a driver: when going straight at an intersection where red-light right turns are allowed, I will make sure I don't use that lane so I don't have impatient people wanting to turn right behind me as I have to remain immobile at a red light because I am going straight.

I don't like having impatient people behind me. As a cyclist, I think being understanding of drivers (while taking our own presence on the road for granted as a legitimate one) and trying to think like they think goes a long way.
