To be fair, I do find animations useful. On our work computers they’ve turned off animations by default, and I keep turning them on, because I just need that visual feedback - for instance, did I minimize the window or did the program just crash and the window closed - or I misclicked and closed instead? Just a small visual cue so I know what’s going on.
That being said, iPhone (or Apple in general) animations are horrendously slow.
But that requires an glance down at the taskbar and looking for the icon. If I see the minimize animation, I can jump right to the next thing. And as an added bonus (at least until Windows 11 fucked it up), I immediately get a cue as to where in the taskbar the icon is located.

If minimized, it’s still in the task bar thing.
