Kind of wild that “completely redesign the SVG engine” was found to be the most economical option (I also wonder what it cost them). Alternatives could’ve been switching engines, the animation approach, the UI toolkit or throwing more hardware at it. At the scale they operate it makes sense, I guess. They likely already have a large code base on their current technology, lots of devices already sold and more powerful hardware might cut into margins by half a percent.
