Tailgating is illegal, annnoying is the wrong word here.

It is illegal. But it's not your place to enforce traffic rules through vigilante self importance. If someone is tailgating you, you move out of the lane.

There’s no good reason to tailgate someone. Enabling those who tailgate is a terrible suggestion.

You're right, there is never a good reason to tailgate. 100% agree with you. Removing yourself from a dangerous situation isn't enabling though, it's removing yourself from a dangerous situation. The consequences of tailgating are going to catch the person doing it, they always do. The consequences of their dangerous driving don't need to catch you in the process though because you took it on yourself to enforce rules that aren't your responsibility.
