• I have read How does the bounty system works?.
• I have read questions such as How to award a bounty (+50) instantly?, and its peers, closed as duplicate of the former.

I know how the system works; I find it annoying.

• I have read Should the 24-hour timeout apply to bounties awareded for "exemplary answer"?; it comes close to what I'd like, but was declined with no explicit reason.
• I have read Waiting 24 hours to reward an existing answer is completely illogical; it's half of the issue I present here (or a 1/3, depending on whether you count the time or the number of interactions required).

It seems clear that I am not the only one having issues with rewarding specific existing answers.

I regularly come upon excellent answers on StackOverflow, and I'd like to reward them with more than a simple uvpote.

There is a mechanism exactly suited for this on StackExchange: the bounties.

Great! Let's award a bounty!

One must wait 48 hours before being able to open a bounty on a question.

Reaaally?

Oh well, let's setup a reminder...

Fast-forward 48h...

Alright, let's award this bounty! Just have to create it and...

One must wait 24 hours before being able to award a bounty (but less than 7 days).

Reaaally?

Yes. Even when said bounty was created specifically with to Reward existing answer.

Let's setup another reminder then...

It takes me more effort to award a +50 bounty to an excellent answer than it takes me to actually earn those +50 in the first place. Quite ludicrous, isn't it?

Each time I wish to award a bounty to an excellent answer, I'm reminded that it's really a drag. And I seriously reconsider awarding the bounty.

So, here comes the question. Disregarding the actual time it would take between the awarder deciding to award +N to an answer, and the answerer actually receiving this +N (or actually, +2*N), and disregarding the additional attention that may be garnered from the question being featured, ...

Is the principle itself of awarding bounties to existing answers in one-click desirable or not?

Note: I am interested if anyone has a user-script for that...
