reluctance to stripe for passing lanes might have something to do with

We got that law passed in Ohio. It's legal to cross a no-passing line
when safe to do so, to pass a vehicle (which includes bicycles) going
less than half the speed limit. It formally legalizes what was
already common practice.

That rule needs to be in place in all areas with winding roads;
otherwise one gets stuck behind people taking the corners at one-quarter
the possible speed or less.
