I think it is normally due to the fact that they can see another vehicle in lane 1 ahead of them.
Such matters as closing speed, distance, other traffic matter not, (stupid) people take the mindset that "I'll have to over take that eventually, so I'll just stay out here, so I don't have to do one of those complex mirror, signal, swerve things that I failed my first 15 driving tests on".

It doesn't apply to me but I suspect it's mostly the arrogance of others which means that they know they won't be allowed back out into L2 (or 3) when they come up behind the next lorry.
Certainly can be part of it. I always try and give people to move out so we can all make progress. Some seem to take pleasure in blocking others in. Bill said:

When I've seen people questioned on tv about it (years ago) that was the reason they gave. They didn't believe anybody would "let them out" again if they went in to lane 1.There's a lot of people on here who complain about people who get in their way while overtaking on the motorway. But it's that attitude that causes more MLMs. If more people gave a bit of space to people who would like to overtake something in lane 1, they would be less likely to hog lane 2.

Arrogance.
We all have access to a copy of the highway code, there is no excuse for not knowing it, regardless of how long ago we took our test.
Ignorance is not an excuse IMO.
I would understand if the highway code cost £2,000 to buy or something, but you can read it for free on the internet if anything else.

the amount of times I have been blocked in L1 whilst out in a hire car for any work trips I have to make is unbelievable, the attitude of the MLM seems to be either "I’m not moving" or "ha your fault for using the lorry lane".
