Currently, when opening a Blazor Wasm app, the user sees Loading... till everything is downloaded and processed.
Ideally, we'd provide an improved loading experience (ex. spinner, loading bar) which is neutrally themed. Users should still be able to easily replace it for their custom applications, but this allows us to provide a great basic alternative.

Accessibility should be a focus with this experience, ensuring screen readers are still able to convey the loading state.
I've seen users express concerns about this across various mediums in the past. Here are a couple of examples (though they're from blog posts providing guidance on how to have custom loading animations).

It doesn't look great and it can be very easily fixed/enhanced.
