It's more efficient if people let you pass in front of them. Which they might not
Not very efficient if you have to stop next to a moving lane lol

That's a training issue more than anything else. People have never been taught how to merge well, and so inevitably everybody has their own "camp" when it comes to best practices. Those who complain about "fairness" typically have a more myopic view than those who take "the big picture" into account (or they have a faulty "big picture" in mind). I'll grant that a good number of those "cheaters" are indeed just being selfish pricks, but statistics still show that zipper merging is best in the end. Far too many people care more about their illogical feelings than the facts, tho.
