If they are just changing lanes to find the one that's fastest at any moment, sure. If their destination is only reachable from that lane then yes, it is their right to use the public roadways regardless of how much it displeases you that you share them with other people.

If there are jerks who don't want to let anyone in front of them in a situation where you're just trying to merge in, it will not help you not to blink; my comments about not blinking as a strategy do not apply. Still, those merge-preventing jerks are acting rationally in their self-interest. If a flow of traffic behaves in such a way that it impedes the ingress of a joining flow, then that flow does in fact reduce its trip time. (The effect on the average trip time for everyone is another matter, which they don't care about, obviously).
