In the Google photos app (Pixel 10) there is no animation, the rotation just happens immediately and there's no button press to buffer.

My rule of thumb is that animations need a purpose, otherwise you are just showing off and it gets tedious. This animation carries more purpose than most, conceptually you might understand which orientation will be next but it takes your brain a second to validate, and it is much simpler if you can see the path that it took.
