There's already a significant amount of space for the on-ramp merge, especially considering how infrequently that on-ramp is used. It certainly isn't a bottleneck or hindrance.
Terrible as it is to say, I think they don't have the cross merge specifically to simplify the transaction for drivers - this is the on part, this is the off part. Make the lane both, and yeah - you'd get the cross merge slowdown we see on the south side.
Not to mention it would be an extra 500m or so of pavement to maintain, for no real efficiency gain.
