I would never drive my car straight out of a right turn lane and then merge back into traffic, so why would I want to do that on my bike?
Because the bike is not a car, specifically smaller and allowed to share lanes. When there's room to lane-share you can get through the intersection and stab the FRAP position with the least impact to the smooth flow of traffic, and least disruption to yourself. If there isn't room for that on the far side, for sure grab a spot in the line of traffic.
