Well, tear-free video on intel gfx would be a _big_ deal (you remember, stuff we had in the 80-90ies?).

Flicker-free boot is nice to have, but it's not a _big_ deal.

I can live just fine if the boot flickers twice. But somehow doing animation with tearing for the rest of the work-day is quite a bit more annoying.

It's not a big deal for you, it's a big deal for UX.

UX isn't about what you as a user feel, it's about what users feel, and OP is probably talking about UX for all users, not just those comfortable with Linux and it's tendency to have a janky UI.
