I think the problem is that you have two sets of people when it comes to this topic. Those that know that the best time to merge is at the end, evenly dividing traffic in a 1:1 ratio. And the other group, which thinks it's best to "merge" early.

So, half the people merge early, creating a vaccum in the soon to be merged lane. And then the other half, fills it, which promptly causes the first half to think that they're taking advantage.

Worse still, there are some "road sherrifs" (in big trucks) that not only merge early, but also try to block the other lane when they see people trying drive that lane and merge at the end. At least in my country it is quite common and police does not seem to handle this properly.
