I think there is some nuance here.

If the demo sequence is <5 seconds, I have never found myself becoming impatient. Gif is perfect for very brief demos. Anything longer than that and I'd like to have some idea where I am at in the video stream (and other controls as indicated)

Just the "intro" splash takes more than 5 seconds, and it's totally unnecessary

Yes, the gif bothered me too :D

It would seem that this subject is very subjective. However, I admit that I let myself go a bit on the intro and I can understand your point of view.
