Do people really want that stuff out do they just think they want it?

Do people think they want it, or do developers and designers think the people want it?!

I'm a developer and I definitely want that stuff some of the time. On platforms that can handle it, absolutely. I love all the animations in macOS and I always have. GNOME and Windows are nice but they don't feel like home in the same way, they don't have sophisticated and fluid animations.

They need to be performant and they need to improve the usability of the system, not reduce it. That's the criteria. It's often not achievable with the web, though people try.

I also love the animations in macOS, but fwiw each version of iOS feels like a step backwards for usability to me.

If you have trouble selling a product without that stuff, does it make a difference?
