Your explanation is contained in this [article ](https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/yes-video-game-loading-bars-are-fake-indie-devs-admit).

If you don’t have time or patience for that, the ***TLDR*** is that people generally don’t trust smooth loading bars. Generally the stuttering progress tends to be viewed as more believable than smooth and accurate tracking. It’s counterintuitive, buy hey – so are people.
