Why did Roblox decide to make it mandatory to upload animations?

(continuing the title) isn’t it pointless? I’ll explain why below:

Hello. I’ve been wondering for a long time why they needed to create an Animation object in Roblox Studio. I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason 1 is to ensure that no prohibited material is being published, and the reason 2 is to prevent content theft. However, this seems absurd. Anyone can spend a couple of days interacting with AI and write code to animate a character using keyFrameSequence. Moreover, Roblox does not ban plugins for stealing animations, so the second reason is incorrect. So, in general, why did they do this? The Animation object, unlike the custom animation module, depends on the internet. Then what’s the point of using it? The only advantage I see is that it’s directly written in the engine’s language, rather than in luau, which makes it 20-30 times faster than any self-written code. However, this advantage is actually “artificial.”
