These are not "poor industry practices." They are design features.
A similar thing happened with my father's life insurance after he died, aged 43, in 1977.
His insurance company (Norwich Winterthur) took over a year to pay the benefit to my mom.
The only thing that kept our family housed and not sliding into poverty for that year was the whip-around organised by the unions, all of them, at the place where Dad worked.
Join your union, and be active in it. You never know when you'll need them.
