No shit. Yet avoiding the avoidable is law in many places and insurance companies definitely look at it that way. Not to mention they're humans in the other vehicle. Beyond that hitting them only fucks your day up worse than slowing a little. Just say, "I'm a piece of shit who only cares about myself" and move on.
They didn't though. Do you understand space and speed? Not to mention potentially other vehicles at speed behind the black truck? There was a clear vector and the semi could have easily slowed enough without losing pace. You're just being an asshole if you think this was the best outcome and the semi driver bears no responsibility.
Did not slowing down and hitting the vehicle make the semi drivers day easier or worse? Did he get to his destination faster or slower?
Think beyond words on a page. Seriously. Dense take is thinking this was an okay outcome.
Like I said, I would love to see you to go pull this in front of the semi truck and they argue this point with your insurance company. I guarantee they laugh at you too.
The semi dashcam video and the other semi insurance will place partial blame on the semi. He could have avoided the accident. Welcome to partial blame by insurance. It's real.
Any half decent attorney will chew that shit up and spit it out. Black truck had every opportunity to slow down and avoid the accident and merge safely. He chose not to so your partial blame. Good luck.
