Sharing the road requires 360 degree visual awareness as close to 100% of the time as possible. Not only does it keep you safer, it prevents you from being a burden on other road users. This is not possible without a mirror.
One big problem is a lot of people are clueless how to even read road situations so what good is a mirror gonna do?
Then there's others who figure the entire burden is on the cars because after all, bikes have a right to the road, right?
