This stuff is user tested, many people prefer animations because they get confused if the UI changes instantly. For example if a button moves position when a sidebar is collapsed, the animation tells the user where the button has gone.
You are probably more observant and have good visual processing, so the animation is superfluous to you. Luckily it can be turned off on Android. On Linux I use XFCE which is almost instant - no animations by default.

That's also why you don't do automatically collapsible sidebars.
Did you read the recommendations that I was wishing were universal? Specifically: avoid moving elements around the UI.
Most people aren't that fast or impatient. The world isn't going to change to suit your brain...
