An unusual UKVI student visa interview

I had my student visa interview on 14th July and I am still waiting for the response.

I was interviewed by a British guy, his camera was off. It started normal but when conducting the actual interview, he interrupted me a lot to speak slowly as he was writing down the answers. It almost felt like I was dictating my answers to him and I really was…
He finished the interview saying he will submit these notes and then I will get my decision from their response team like he was just a “transcriber”? And he had no say in the decision making process itself.

I want to ask if anyone had a similar experience to mine since it seems very unnatural and almost one of a kind situation.
