I think the effects were justified here because they're literally trying to do something with a cinematic aesthetic. 99.9999% of other scenarios, tho, right there with ya.
Feel ya. Some of the animations are really smart but get lost in the plethora
The thing is, what "website is supposed to do" changed drastically and is still changing. Now, a website can have the same goal and rules as Performance Art and I think that's great.

Incredible content! But a bit over-the-top with the effects.
Sites like this always remind me of Frank Chimero's quote, “This is how I feel about so many of the fancy websites I see. ‘It is fascinating that you can do that, but it’s really not what a website is supposed to do.” via https://frankchimero.com/writing/the-webs-grain/
However, I enjoyed the simplified mobile experience greatly :)
