At the end of a long flight this is just another thing you don't need. Almost everyone I know who travels there regulalry has the same complaint and that includes a large number of US citizens.
It's not as bad as Russia but that's a low bar
My last couple of trips to the USA landed at New Orleans and Austin. In both instances CBP staff were pretty cordial, maybe it's a Lousiana/Texas thing.
