It’s fake, homie. https://80.lv/articles/video-games-loading-screens-are-mostly-fake-according-to-developers/
It's still useful just to make sure it didn't freeze.
What other lies have we been fed?!
The second player controller isn't actually connected to anything.
Good luck fighting Psych Mantis.
If it makes you feel any better the reason is that building a loading bar that matches your intuition is a superhuman task. It's much much easier to simply fake it and the program will finish whenever it finishes
Metroid on SNES(I think) had the elevators be the loading screen so you never "saw" them
