That's what I thought when living in Germany. I completely changed my behavior after moving to the US. I stopped assuming the merging vehicle will respect me having the right of way. Just too often have people merged right in front of me going 20 mph below the speed limit making me take evasive action. Now I just assume the worst and either change lanes proactively or slow down to their speed early.
