At least 25% of people do this. I don't get it...traffic is NOT stopped.
Down here in the SE that is the go to move in the rain. It makes me rage.

My father was a truck driver, he taught me when I was young that you throw them on when the highway is coming to a stop to warn other truckers to stop. This gives them room to slow down and lessens the likely hood of them plowing into suddenly stopped traffic.

This new wave of using flasher while moving along in the rain has cancelled out what was once a very effective safety measure.

You can get ticketed here for it, I have never seen anyone get pulled over for it. I feel it should carry a worse fine than speeding. It is more reckless IMHO.
