A thought while waiting for an interminable software upgrade to install

What is the logic of the “time remaining” bar in software installation windows? I’ve been staring at “Time remaining: 3 minutes” for exactly 11 minutes while waiting for a software update to install. It is literally impossible to overestimate how immensely annoying I find this. Now it’s counting down individual seconds from 45, except each “second” is taking roughly 15 actual seconds.
Stupid Friday work day between Thanksgiving and the weekend …
