I think if there were more cyclists that bike rage could be a thing too. You touched on it in your reply. It’s the endangerment. The threat to self and property.
Definitely with cars, the property and safety issues are magnified, so I think that all things being equal, if we magically had bikes as primary transport you’d still see road rage, but less than with cars.
That’s maybe one of the three factors I mentioned, and even then cyclist-cyclist collisions are much less common or severe than automobile-automobile ones. There’s a reason even the busiest bike path intersections don’t have fancy safety devices like traffic lights, after all: they don’t need them.
