They nearly have done this already with "Low Power Mode", but unfortunately it seems they haven't committed to trusting the user to use this.

Low power mode seems to turn off unnecessary animations and speed up my phone.

The first thing I do on any new Android phone I get is enable developer options and disable all animations.

I've had many friends complement my utterly midrange phone for feeling so snappy; it's because the stupid animations that only serve to slow down UI transitions are off.

Turning low power mode on or off makes no difference in this area. My phone runs at 50% speed, regardless of whether Low Power Mode is turned on or off.
