>Isn’t this a sign that you are following too closely?

If you open enough space ahead of you for a car, someone will cut in. Driving too closely isn't something only you can do something about.

In fact, because of the aforementioned behaviour, it's safer to drive too close because it's far more dangerous for a car to cut in in front of you because he perceives "enough" space to do so.

No it is not safer to drive too close. If someone cuts in front of you, you just slows down a bit to keep enough space and that's it.
