What you missed from my original post is that it is a lot of effort to expose transitory state: nobody is going the extra mile to annoy you, they are just not investing in implementing extra UI to expose it.

And in most cases, it's the right balance.

From my experience, most places don't model the transition state. Such that it easily gets bunged.

If you just want to make it hidden, that is fine. But can lead to it's own problems. Usually when you have uniqueness constraints on things.
