True.


It might be an idea to have a style sheet check like:

@media(prefers-reduced-motion)
   {
   :root
     {
     --trans-effect: /* nothing happens */;
     }
   }


maybe combined with a script like:

let reducedMotion = window.matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion)").matches;

which can be used to determine if user explicitly requests no animations.
