    It just looks cool is the likely answer here. Gate dials were always kind of tension building, and having to wait for a connection would be more than just anticlimactic. Though this could’ve been probably solved by designing the waiting period as another “building up” thing, like some intense swirling noise and vibrations intensifying instead of the phone example or some elevator music playing.
