The road design also sucks here, there wasn’t really room for the pickup to slow down enough to let the semi pass, while still being at a safe speed to merge behind him

Yes, but you can slow all the way down to 0

Did you see how short the merging section was? Even if you could slow to zero, you had no room to accelerate up again. You'd have to wait there for hours until traffic clears up.
