Similar tiny blips have long been used for interface feedback, menu selections and notification cues, which is why listeners recognise the sound instantly even without a visual context. On soundboards it is collected alongside other pop and click effects for edits, streams and reaction videos, where a fraction of a second is enough to mark a moment. Its brevity is the reason it keeps getting reused.
