With a hair simulation running, applying force every time you interuact. They have to justify the GPU and the best ROI is to maximize first impressions. Yes, it will make the launcher RAM-hungry and super unresponsive when multitasking but usability is secondary.

If your next phone doesn't have a 5090 running constant hair simulation and ray tracing do you even dare show it off in public?

i bet they could find some way to premake the hair animations on icons like this. like they really only need to move in 2 directions. you could make that look pretty good with like 200 canned animations. different speeds and start/stop styles is all you should really need. at that point it's not too different from creating a walk loop for a video game. you'd just be calling up various premade animations with a system to string them together believably. it's totally doable. certainly no worse than other "live wallpapers" that were a popular included feature about a decade ago.
