If it is not a bottleneck situation, then you should merge earlier if you have the room to do it without making anything brake for you.

Don't think I agree. In any situation, the best thing for traffic flow is to use the full merge lane, then merge appropriately (meaning a combination of both the merger and those accepting the merger into the lane finding and creating an opening through either slowing down or speeding up to make a gap). That's how it's supposed to work.
The issue becomes is if a car in front of you didn't use the full merge lane and then you do, everyone made accommodations for that vehicle earlier in the traffic line, and then they become butt hurt about having to make accommodations again for you and it's precieved as you trying to "jump the queue". When all along the issue is the vehicle that didn't fully use the merge lane.
