I've had to walk someone over the phone through a prompt that says "Click OK to continue" and there was nothing else except the OK button.

Also when I used to work for Federal Student Aide help center it was common for (people who were about to enter into higher education) to get stuck at the end of the online form when a final screen came up with the options "Submit" and "Cancel"

That just seems like bad software design with a prompt like that, unless its for audit trail purposes and it's used to log the user is actively accepting to continue.
