I’ve always biked against traffic so that I can see the cars that are coming my way. I feel safer this way. When the cars are behind me, I feel I am at a higher risk of getting hit.

The rules are designed to assume you as a cyclist are riding in the road with traffic; that’s the basis.
Think about spaces where you do not have a shoulder. With only lanes of traffic, and you would then be going against traffic and you’re going to get in a head-on vs a car.
