Please explain how taking evasive action relieves the PIC from
complying with right-of-way regulations.

The first part of the rule regarding right-of-way, states you
should sea and avoid.

With the exception of overtaking from the rear and approaching
head-on, the rules don't state any particular behavior to take
to avoid, other than the aircraft without the right of way
shall manouver to pass well clear.

Unlike nautical rules, there's no concept of the privileged
vessel standing on (i.e., maintaining course and speed).
