While there is a mention in the checklist of prefers reduced motion, it was not mentioned under Motion and Animation. I believe additional detail belongs there. In particular, there is misunderstanding around the word "reduce." That is an artifact of history because Apple got there first. Non-Apple operating systems use setting wording that imply animation on or off. However, because it is a toggle in all systems, there is no way to know whether the user would prefer minimal animation or absolutely no animation.

I've added brief (I hope) text addressing this in the Motion and Animation section.

I understand your point but I don't think the text you provided clarifies the original statement. Could you reword the original sentence in a way that incorporates the differences you're trying to capture? How about simply:

"Avoid unnecessary animation if the operating system indicates the user has requested reduced or zero motion"

Updated, thank you.
