Sending at the speed of the receiving station is usually the best way to
improve probability of exchanging call signs.
At 45 wpm, most ham ops need you to send your call three times or more
to get it so you haven't accomplished much in the way of speedier
communication. Also simple math.

Some prefer the challenge of isolating a CW signal in order to decode it. They
use filtering. Eliminating interference is difficult. Interference comes from
numerous sources.
An exchange of call signs is the desired result in a pile up or contest
exchange.
Sending at a lower speed does not improve the probability of accomplishing that
communication goal.
CW speed is a critical part of the communication equation. An operator sending
at 15 wpm has 1/3 the rate of success than one who sends at 45 wpm.
The later sends his call 3 times to only one for the slower station. Simple
math. It might sound like bragging. A thinking person will understand how
critical speed is to a CW operator. Some rely upon filtering. That only gets
you so far with the goal.
I like the improved success that comes adding speed. Bragging ? I like to
succeed. I use every tool I have.
Just my way of competing. Some can do it better than others.
