In a torrential downpour, my experience is that some people will slow down to a reasonable speed, others (typically brodozers) carry on driving 80. I don't want someone plowing into the back of me because I've chosen to slow down and they think they should continue going 80, so i'll throw the hazards on in that situation to make sure it's getting their attention. I guess I don't see how it's much different than if there's a car having mechanical problems and driving slow on a highway trying to make it home or an exit and they have their hazards on, I appreciate it as it identifies they are driving slow and a potential hazard. In my opinion a car driving on a highway at significantly reduced speeds presents a greater hazard than a car pulled over on the shoulder. While other drivers should expect you to be driving at reduced speeds during a downpour, experience and bros, show otherwise.
Get out of the left lane.

Completely agree that hazard lights should never be used when it's raining. Everyone already knows that it's raining, and everyone can see your taillights. What it tells me is, "I'm special and having a different experience than everyone else on the road and may take unexpected actions that could harm you."
