Semi-related question: this page is full of little charts and diagrams. There are thousands of similar projects/sites/experiment sites with their own charts and diagrams. But it seems like there are always subtle-to-large differences in them that indicate they're made with totally different libraries.

Are there just thousands of homebrewn non-standard chart & diagram builders out there? How does one even begin to pick a standard to whip out quickies like these? Google SEO makes it virtually impossible to get to substance.

I often see charts produced using matplotlib or plotly - often you can tell based on the colour schemes used. For example, the bar chart at the bottom of this paper looks like it was made with plotly. I think the reason for such variance in the style of charts is largely due to the flexibility frameworks such as matplotlib provide: you can control basically every aspect of a chart and use any number of predefined or custom stylesheets to change the look and feel.

We used matplotlib for the performance charts, and used a free website to convert google slides to the animation gifs.

Which "free website"?

The color scheme on these implies Google Drawing, but I don't know how they made them into animations - maybe just manually?

Google slides I think.
