It's an interesting point. I tend to think of the blue as helping the slower car who, from experience, although slow may be trying his hardest and not looking behind him a lot. A car suddenly turning up alongside when there was no-one in sight the last time you looked often is a dangerous situation.
Unfortunately there are still some drivers who seem to think a blue flag means "forget mirrors, move off your normal line immediately". There have been a few cars in long races that I've stopped blue flagging because they kept jumping sideways, often into the path of the cars trying to lap them.
We do what we can to help but in the end we do need the drivers to do their bit too. Then everyone has a good time.
