I’m with you though. Most animation in UI is superfluous and annoying, if not down right rage inducing (like when the animation blocks input).
A good example of an animation that I don’t dislike is the window minimize animation on macOS where the window gets “sucked” into the Dock. It’s useful because it relates a “where” that I can keep in my head. I click a button, where’d my window go? Down there, I just saw it get sucked down into the Dock.

When you touch it, it moves 3/4 way, becomes washed out, meaning "making the change, please wait", and either goes all the way & becomes green, or returns to its place and shows an error. Animations are tools. Use wisely, they inform and entertain. Use too much, they become boring.
