Everytime I'm on the road though and I hit potholes and lumps and cracks etc, I'm pretty glad I'm not on anything thinner.
I think this makes it for me too, although personal preferences are totally fine. E.g., a friend that's been audaxing every weekend for years now swears by his 23c. My biggest tour was on the same size, but now that I switched to 42, even 30 is a pain in the ass.

I think it’s likely your conception of speed is skewed.
23mm feel a hella lots faster but in reality it fits the opposite.
42mm feel hella slow cause there’s little to no road buzz at a lower pressure, but actually do the opposite.

Have they tried good tyres, or are they just a stubborn old git?

Sorry I was being a little factitious, I don't really know much about Jan other than his love of wide tyres (which i share).
I personally love Sawtooths in 42 for my bike, which is 85 road 15 UK 'gravel'.

See loads of roadies in the south downs near me still on 23s and it makes me shudder!
