I'll believe they have UX teams when they offer an easily accessible option to turn those things off. There's zero reason why they can't target both use cases with a simple toggle to turn animations on and off. The stupidity is expanded when this exists but is not easily accessible. Those that haven't thought of that yet are indeed stupid (Apple). Some videogames have the same issue with unskippable cut scenes. Am I not the target audience there either? If not, then who is? Who wants to watch the same cut-scene a thousand times? The UX is equally horrific in both cases and in both cases, clearly no thought went into the UX whatsoever.
