Dude, we are hype and cool and we have the power of JS and CSS transitions at our fingertips. Why should we sacrifice our amazing experience that all end-users love just to please some purist-wannabe power user who enjoys to read content without hindrances, delays and amazing visual effects based on carefully-calculated bezier curves by our best-of-class team?

100%. I don't get all this negativity! I love animations and wasteful frivolous effects. They really jazz up my day. Huge typography, rounded buttons, and massive amounts of negative space reduces stress, and improves my mental health. Really does the job! I don't think I can ever go back to "good ol" days of "functional design". Pfff...it is all so boring. I like mindless consumption and basically buy anything I see in an ad.

Wasteful, frivolous, and "fashionable" is exactly who Apple is marketing towards. You aren't the target audience here.
