Nice article! I think the biggest UX issues in current mobile OS is gratuitous animations and lack of cohesiveness. Many have transitions that are too long and too much. It's like drinking overly sweet soda, the first sips are nice but you don't want to drink a whole bottle. Animations should be inverse in scope to how often they are displayed. There's also a tendency of "teleporting" you between pages without a clear spatial navigation structure. Material tries to be fancy by morphing pages to tie pages together but I still think a more linear and clear page navigation would be easier to grasp.

For me it's the ads that require a high level of concentration to not click. CNN's mobile is awful (web site is getting worse too, for that matter). I generate several false clicks every time I'm on the site. The advertisers are getting soaked I'm sure. Even if CNN refunds a certain percentage of clicks, unless that percentage is upwards of 100% of mine, the advertisers are paying for unintentional clicks. As a user, it really sucks to try to scroll to see more of an article only to be taken out of the article to your browser.
