You're being pedantic, so I'll join you. IMO, technically it's two merge points simultaneously happening at the same time along with a third merge point from the right due to the on-ramp from Delafield.

The one merge point in question now has a long line.

The problem isn't the merge point and it isn't people using both lanes until that merge point exists... the problem is people driving poorly, putting themselves into a situation where they can no longer merge, and then stopping the other lane.

If you are even a below-average driver, there is no issue.
