As far as "responsibility to let others merge".... Maybe it's
responsibility, mabye it's not. But it sure makes life easier in busy
traffic, including freeways, to just back off a bit, or speed up a bit,
to make the merge easier and safer for all.

Actually, it's safest for traffic on the main road to maintain a
steady speed, alowing the incoming traffic to correctly predict where
to merge. The problem is, incompetent mergers either don't get up to
the common speed of traffic before trying to merge, or they drive
right next to you expecting you to slow down and let them in, even
though there is a perfectly good gap both in front of your car and
behind your car.
