Everyone should stay in both lanes, and alternate up at the front where things have to merge.
But people won't.
They'd rather sit in a single lane for an hour so that they can look down their noses at the people in the other lane who didn't have the genius and foresight to move out of the obstructed lane back when they had the chance two timezones ago.

This is absolutely true for zipper merging when a lane is ending. But when it is a lane dedicated for traveling straight (in this case the left lane) and the right is only for turning, it is a problem because now you potentially stop traffic heading in the intended direction.
So you become and ***** hole for the guys going straight.
