Damn you’re right. I may or may not have been brushing off anything related to gnome, since I thought it wouldn’t apply to me… Well that was ignorant of me.
While this doesn’t seem to apply for spotify, steam or discord, after rechecking on my laptop with Ubuntu, neither did it there… (so my description is a little off). I guess that’s because of the applications not running wayland natively? I actually don’t really know though.
I know in Windows there is an option to turn off all animations, and it really did that for EVERYTHING, so I guess I’m after something like that, but there probably isn’t such an option.
Maybe I phrased it badly in my post. Of course swaywm in itself doesn’t have any animations, but since I don’t have a desktop environment like gnome or kde, I thought people would understand if I said that I use swaywm. Sorry
