a lot of these are terrible, made by an animator who doesn't understand design and just wants to make lines move for the heck of it.

i agree these arent wonderful but i also like the idea in general and wouldnt want amazing icons to steal attention from the actual app functions anyway

Then that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

I do not like them because the animations are arbitrary, with no proper theme and consistency to how they work and what they actually represent.

This is actually informative.
