Do you look at a thermometer and ask "Who thought a progress bar made sense for the weather? 130 degrees should not be a goal for climate change!" and try to shit on designers for ignoring usability or do you just read it as a meter to see what the temperature is?
Not every bar is a progress bar.

Your pre-existing balance is $100. You just deposited another $100, but it's not yet available. You have $100 available, so the "progress bar" is at 50%.
Not saying I think it's useful to show as a progress bar, but it's not abnormal.
> That progress bar doesn't even make sense. For "cash available"? What kind of progress bar makes sense for that?
Savings goal. Credit limit. Mortgage.
It would be badly named, but it's not completely stupid.

I interpret the credit limit label right below to be the label if the progress bar.
It is unfortunate that people focus on such superficial aspects of design, especially in UI design. When there's some trend showing up, you'll see countless people talking bullshit about aesthetics and how pleasing things look, and people get so wrapped up in it that they ignore any sense of usability.
