I'll be the odd one out and say that the presentation is actually gorgeous. It's really not a whole lot of extra resources that need to be pulled in to do it, either. You could do it in a few lines of HTML/CSS if you were so inclined.

That said, I will agree that the use case is very small (page opening) and for most these days even showing this for more than 2 or 3 seconds might lead to some wrong assumptions and showing it for only a split second would be odd/no good/etc.
