If the SC applied to manually activated functions, it would prohibit video and other visual time-based media as well as requiring progress indicators that don't show that any progress is occurring.

You might then try to dream up some form of words where moving content is permitted as long as it is the objective of the manual operation rather than being a side effect. But this feels like a horrible solution that could probably not be expressed unambiguously.

Personally, I don't see any problem with the SC as it stands.
