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.

Would you do this at the grocery store? Run to the front of the line and try to push your way in?
There is one common exit. If you merge in early or late, only a certain amount of vehicles can turn at a time. Zipper merging isn't going to hurry it any faster as the turn is the bottleneck.
I agree with the term, entitlement. The only reason people in long line are there longer is that some feel entitled to go in front of them.
