I know about software patents but what's the point when somebody can achieve the exact same functionality from the user's perspective using totally different code. Just seems like a waste on a patent lawyer.

It's not useful, as it doesn't always reflect reality so it's just a bunch of loading bars to manage customer expectation. Ask the domino's subreddit
