You still haven't provided evidence of your claims that it is factually illegal to travel at a speed lower than the posted speed limit, while there is plenty of easily seen evidence suggesting the contrary.
Another example which suggests otherwise is that during inclement weather, it is recommended by (at least my local) DOT that drivers slow for road conditions to a safe speed, which assumes, based on your insights, that they're suggesting you break the law.

Michigan MCL code states it is illegal, unless road conditions prevent it. It is a civil infraction. CODE 257.268. It states driving below 55 on the freeway, unless driving conditions prevent it or you have a special permit, is unlawful.
Ohio states $4211.22 states No person shall stop or operate a vehicle, trackless trolley, or street car at such an unreasonably slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when stopping or reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or to comply with law.
In ohio, the criteria is the capability of the vehicle and driver. If the driver and vehicle are capable of maintaining the normal speed of traffic, it is a misdemeanor not to do so.
