But my point is those “thoughtful” people waiting in line are actually backing up traffic and causing congestion. If you use both lanes until the exit point traffic moves faster.

How so? If everyone merges early, then the through lane can maintain speed. If everyone merges at the last point, it will be continuous stopped traffic, with shorter lines.

I'm an engineer and this logic never made sense to me unless the backed up traffic interfered with other junctions.

Why do you choose to prioritize the cars going over the highland park bridge over the cars continuing on 28. They should share the construction backlog evenly. The right lane is not a through lane to the bridge. It is part of a 2 lane infrastructure system that serves both directions.
