I can't agree. Driving according to the road conditions and anticipating
what hazards may lie ahead is far more important than watching out for
technical breach of the law.

There's nothing stopping you from doing both. It's not even especially hard.

Remember, road conditions includes the law in place, and anticipating
hazards includes anticipating speed limits.

For example, if you're driving along behind somebody and you come to a lower
speed limit, seeing the sign lets you know that driver might decide to
suddenly slow down to that limit.
