Wrong! It accomplishes something: hiding the delay from starting programs/loading data. This makes users think their device is responding faster. And for consistency's sake, you apply it everywhere, even for those things without substantial delay.

And that's the sort of junk that UI experts specialize in, leading me to conclude that the less UI experts are involved with a project, the more usable it will be.
