Incremental Strategy "Merge" is generating Delete, Insert into command

Merge strategy in incremental, generates delete and insert into command instead of the merge.

{{ config( as_columnstore= false, materialized= 'incremental', incremental_strategy= 'Merge', unique_key='customer_code' ) }} SELECT customer_code, customer_name FROM {{ref('customer')}}

The run script: delete from "......."."dim_customer" where (customer_code) in ( select (customer_code) from "......."."#dim_customer__dbt_tmp" ); insert into "......."."dim_customer" ("customer_code", "customer_name") ( select "customer_code", "customer_name" from "......."."#dim_customer__dbt_tmp" );

I checked the dbt-core sources and the “get_merge_sql” macro isn’t called on project. Some official adapters reimplement the incremental materialization and use that macro. I don’t know if the effort to support this is gonna pay, as by this comment, they’re planning to refactor all the materialization code: https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/5260#issuecomment-1132871807
