It might be just me, but skeletons give me an unsettling feeling.
I instinctively interpret them as an app that started allowing interaction before fully loading. Is something horrible going to happen if I click something before it fully loads? Do I even know when it fully loads?
Think of loading glitches in a 3D game -- you open a door and half the world is missing on the other side because the assets aren't there yet. You might fall through the floor if you try walking. Or maybe not.
