To be fair, animations in DAZ take a lot more effort and skill than Honey Select animations (which are essentially just copy and paste), as they actually have to be made from scratch, which makes them far easier to get wrong or do poorly. You also can't forget that a lot of devs are solo operations (or at least start out that way) and they are generally going to be stronger in some areas and weaker in others.
There's also subjectivity. I prefer animations that are made up of a series of sections, so that you can click to advance the scene rather than either have to skip the whole thing (if it's even possible to do so) or watch the whole thing, which may be too long and take too long in the buildup and in the worst case is unskippable.
Obviously animations are preferable, but that's only the case if they're decent. I'd much rather there be no animations than some abomination of an animation being thrown in.
