I feel attacked by the yellow background. If the creator wants a yellow background, there's a browser setting for that.

Reader mode to the rescue!

I shouldn't have to work around a creators choices.

Just don't set general (html, body) background colors, if you create a webpage.

Agreed, but it's nice to have tools to get around bad design choices.

Edit: And in this case reader mode didn't even fix it. Since you can't see any of the examples.

While I agree with the author's written examples at the top, saying hardly noticeable inconsistencies in the animation causes a lost in trust is quite a hyperbole imo. Still, it does shatter the expectation of Apple's stuff being smooth and "perfect".

While it is Ideal to nip all these inconsistencies, speaking from an engineering perspective, this sounds like a huge amount of work for something that almost all users will never notice.

I agree with the sentiment of being "a huge amount of effort", but I also have issue when looking at things like the YouTube example. Honestly, in that scenario I'd rather it not have an animation than do something janky.

I think it's one of those things where you can't put a blanket statement on either side. If you're going to put effort in (i.e. add animations), it should at least be not worse than doing nothing.
