Could we not be disingenuous? If the delay was meaningless, it wouldn't exist. There is a clear intention by these companies to bore or confuse people into signing their rights away. Consider how many lawyers are on payroll or retention at these companies who are aware of the requirements of the law, then consider that G/FB made a cynical, calculated decision to ignore it.
