This is all potentially true, but an equally valid interpretation of the limited data is that the larger sign requires more cognitive overhead, resulting in less attention given to the road.

Yes, especially here in the US where it's really easy to get a license to drive. A cultural shift would help too, because right now it's all about "Well, it's not my fault" - as if the accident and potential fallout is less important than who bears financial responsibility. In /most/ cases, there are defensive steps a driver could have taken to avoid an accident even if they were not directly at fault, but we don't emphasize that enough. (Or at all?)
