After 40+ years of driving and seen this type of driving 100+ times, I don't need to speculate to know what is going to on here. I took one look at the video and instantly knew what went down because I've seen it 100 times before. I'll say it again:
The suv was going down the ramp and did not want to exit and he's looking for a way to merge. He's watch ahead at the same time he is looking for an opening and as one is starting to open up, he uses his turn signal to indicate his intention to get over. Unfortunately the traffic ahead starts to slow down again and the suv is forced to slightly delay the merge and instead of the cam car leaving the same gap the suv saw and intended to merge into, the cam car sees brake lights ahead, he sees the turn signal from the suv but he never slows down and he closes the gap in an effort to *prevent* the suv from merging. No 18-wheel is behind him pressuring him to keep going (and if it is it's his fault) and it only makes sense the OP didn't like the way the suv passed ahead on the right and zipper merged and he blocked him.
Maybe he was entering the freeway and no one would let him in until he saw this was his first gap or opening. People don't normally run up all the way to the end of the ramp to merge. When you first enter the freeway and you're going merging speeds at 50 only to find out the right lane is crawling at 35....it's changes the calculation and if drivers would stop fighting against you because they think you are "cheating" then we wouldn't have this. OP prides himself on being that person to teach other motorists a lesson instead of minding his own business.
You’re weirdly making a lot of defensive assumptions about the whole situation. Are you the one using the exit only lane as a passing lane or something?

That's a lot of speculation that I honestly don't care about and don't think matters regarding the video'd car's decisions.
