That is mentioned in the article under 'Skeleton loader screen'. It can be nice on some slower/flakey connections, or on pages where different elements may load in at different times. Quite often the skeleton is static, and is then 'hydrated' with JS.
I agree it seems to be used unnecessarily more and more now though.
