It's a distraction from the action. While you're waiting for the little bar to move down, you're also hoping that nobody is about to walk around the corner and blow you away. Trust me, that little bar moves slowly when you're in hostile territory, if you know what I mean. Wanting to make Hacking more complicated is like having your guy shoot his rifle take several steps: One to take the safety off, one to raise the weapon to his shoulder, another to make him aim, and a last one to fire. It's more interactive, but it misses the point. Hacking isn't suppose to be fun and iteractive. Being a Hacker is suppose to be fun and interactive. Opening a door with a hacking tool is simply part of a bigger picture.
