Mobile has way more of what you call "Users" than what you call "nerds" and they all absolutely love fluid animated UIs and spend literally hours a day swiping away at them.
Users might not consciously call out screen tearing but they absolutely can tell when something runs smoothly. Just look at the reviews for iPhone vs Android devices in the early days when Android felt more like X11 with jank, frame drops and redraw glitches.
Then look how much time and money year on year Google spent fighting that jank. Money well spent.

And the irony is, that early iOS used animations to hide latencies when changing application state. These animations were the cause, why it was considered so smooth.
