Why lie about that

Same question applies to Windows installer programs since 1995, stalling at 99% or even 100%. Special treat are the ones with that single blue bar that resets to zero after it is at 98% and then repeats that cycle an unknown number of times. Unbelievable that they haven’t solved this problem. Look at Apple ánd Linux – both do this 99x better.
I have almost the same problem with my dishwasher and washing machine.
She usually says 5 minuts and i’m ready but after 20 minuts she is not dressed yet
I know nothing but what if it’s so that companies can say “our washer can wash your clothing __ minutes faster than our competitors.”
on my washing machine just above the timer display, is a teeny tiny sentence: “approximate time remaining”
Blame Einstein; the washing machine drum is spinning so fast that for it only one minute has passed, while for you moving at normal speed, five minutes have passed…

I have a drier that stays on 40 minutes for a whole hour. Yes, I remove the lint after each cycle. It’s one of those highly efficient heat pump driers which take about 3 times longer to dry then regular driers but are somehow 3x more efficient.
Does your washing machine say one minute left? Mine just says “one.” One what? One arbitrary time unit left, I suppose.
My LG washer is very accurate after it does the initial sensing. If it says 2 minutes it’s done in 2 minutes
It appears to be a software defect, at least on my Kenmore front loader.
If you pause the washer for a long time, it throws the internal timing off. At worst, it will mess up the cycle. It appears to me that one timer keeps running internally, or it calculates elapsed time for each program segment incorrect when paused.
That said, my washer often finishes a few minutes earlier than it estimates it will.
