Site-side: Noise and animations eat server space and this site is lagged already. Using the wrong sounds can create copyright issues. Stock sounds that don't suck typically aren't cheap. Hiring animators also costs money. There's also the issue of having to code in these things for every single enemy when you could be making anything else.

Player-side: Noise and animations also eat computer resources on the player's end which makes the lag worse. Seeing the same sounds/animations all the time gets repetitive and annoying. Seeing the wrong animations can give players seizures. Animations and sounds you can't turn off means you can't use your own music and makes the battles take longer.

Personally, I get annoyed seeing the same animation/sound over and over again and having to wait on the animation/sound to load every single time I do a move. I prefer games where there are little to no animations or these things can be turned off.

I don't like sound AT ALL. I have sensory issues FYI
