Somebody convince me I'm wrong.

There is no reason to display "100%" in your UI for more than a single second. Either show 99% and then finish, or show 100% only when you are ACTUALLY done and only show it for a little.

If you're still doing ANYTHING AT ALL don't say you're 100% complete. How is it still like this

How is it still like this

Because Microsoft knows no one is going to stop using Windows even if it sucks. It's same way no one actually moves to Canada when a shitty US president is elected. The average person has a high tolerance for bullshit.

more accurately, average person has a higher tolerance for bullshit than for spending many hours learning something new or spending potentially years applying for citizenship in another country
