It's incumbent upon the driver merging into traffic to do so safely. First and foremost I try to ensure they have adequate space, I will adjust my speed reasonably, and/or move over to accommodate them when I can. But absent the ability to do either of those, I let them make their own decisions. They can speed up, slow down, hit their brakes, run into the ditch, or hit me; whatever they want, I don't care. But in 48 years of driving I have never had one hit me; they have all taken one of the other choices.
You have it except for one item. You are obliged not to change speed.
It's the merging vehicles responsibility to find an opening to merge but if you start changing your speed, they can't determine if it's a safe gap to merge into.
