I personally believe that loading spinners have permeated to so many apps and websites, and with the rise of using phones more and more (hence slower internet from a tower, rather than from a router) and we end up with a world-wide psychological trick. When I saw the spinners I felt kind of angry because I thought they would never load. I think that if we move on from spinners to skeletons, the same thing will happen - every time someone sees a skeleton, if that is often enough, they might not even bother with the website and might perceive it to be slower.
