Traffic flows more smoothly when people don't let in people who are in dead-end lanes...

If you merge at the end of the closing lane you're merging as close as possible to the spot where traffic usually starts moving again at a respectable speed (once everybody is in the single open lane, traffic flows).

When you have people merging way too early you often end up with one of two scenarios:
1. Someone is shooting a gap that just opened, causing everybody else to break more heavily in the open lane.
2. Someone trying to merge early in some arbitrary spot, waiting for a gap to open, slowing down both the open lane and the closing lane with room to spare.
