3D effects will get a much bigger fraction of the CGI budget than some random animated chart

No shit. The fraction is not: “google image, upscale, good enough but the alien finger that point at the same screen will get 6 hours to render using 50% of the elecricity of texas”.

That’s literally what stock animations exist for lmao

They exist for fast or budgeted productions.
I feel dumb just having to argue that.

Only a handful of movies like Avatar gets actual effort put into fully custom fake interfaces, where the producer has a big vision. But even most other blockbuster releases don’t get that. Fast & The Furious with a dozen movies in the series? Nah. Anything where what’s on the screen is just filler will simply not get a big budget for interfaces.

Yes, absolutely. The big bucks are for A-listed actors, executive producers and gigatons of cocaine, not nerd fan service.
