My biggest annoyance with these processes is when they ask for your user name (loading…) then takes you to a different page to ask for your password (loading…)
Like, just stick them on the same page, it’s an annoyance for the sake of trying to get us to use auto sign in

Not really, that’s more in the realm of incompetence than malice. Its basically the cheapest and fastest way to implement multiple different log in methods within one login page.
Let’s say you have Google login, Facebook login, SSO (corporate single sign-on), Email/SMS codes and good old password and username. The easiest option would be to just put a different login button for each of these and be done with it. That works as long as your users know what type they should use.
But once you have a user that doesn’t know what he should use you need a backup login that always works. Thats what the standard login button is used for nowadays. When you put in your username/Email it checks the associated login method for that account and redirects you to the correct login page. That way multiple login methods can be accessed with the same starting page.
Sure, its mildly annoying for people that use a normal passwords, but considering that the overwhelming majority of people either uses Google sign in or just stays logged in, its a very easy decision to make for the developers.
