I see Kiro's guess and raise you an anecdote. I just turned animations off on my Android device, and instantly it feels faster and more responsive.

Maybe software programs got faster with our faster CPUs but all the animations just made everything feel slow.

Yes! It feels faster and more responsive now because it is faster and more responsive now. Your device is taking less time to do the same work.
