Minor to you... Introducing a great experience is the job of good UX. Not simply limiting options and saying 'done'. I am sure there are better options to handle this. Seems like no-one has put the effort into it (yet).

Unnecessarily stopping at a floor for a few seconds is minor to literally everyone riding in a public elevator.
But yeah, I'm sure that at all of the various elevator companies, over all of the years that elevators have had electronic controls, nobody has bothered to put any thought into this.

Limiting options is exactly the point. Elevators are supposed to be easy to use for the entire population, including the very young, the very old, those with disabilities, those not able to read or write the dominant language, etc.
In these cases, it is simply the best UX to keep everything really simple.
