So how do you expect anyone in the left lane to ever get off the roundabout?

It is the person behind who should be giving the vehicle in front sufficient room to make a signaled maneuver.

When entering a two-lane roundabout, assume that someone in the inside lane may want to leave it before your turn, and join/proceed accordingly.
It all depends on where a driver enters the RAB for it to be considered a "right turn".

After a driver enters a RAB............

The first exit is a right turn.
The second exit is going straight.
The third exit is a left turn.
The fourth exit is a U turn.
