If you’re talking about doing it at 60 you can still use both lanes as long as you aren’t following the car in front of you dangerously close or jerks who don’t let merges in there’ll already be enough room to merge. Cutting to one lane early is like people who don’t use the on ramp to accelerate and slow everyone down when they merge then accelerate
The vast majority of situations where people are making faces at the assholes sitting at the end of the closed lane is when traffic is already over-dense and going slow.
In those situations, which are often, racing to the end of the closing lane is just being a line-cutting shithead, and has nothing to do with zipper merging. At that point, they’re literally only butting in on through-traffic.
