Well, some constructs need animation, but others can work out just fine without animation. When typing, I want the characters to show right away, and instead of using a switch, I could use a checkmark that I wouldn't mind getting checked too fast assuming that the context isn't full of checkmarks. I think that we have tools in the UX toolbox that are less reliant on animations than others, but yeah, if you can get animations to be neat, yet fast it's great unless battery life is also a big concern. TBH, animations only began to be acceptable to me once I got a high refresh rate screen and a fast computer, before that I knew they were speed bumps for my old hardware and maybe hated them a bit more than they deserved.
