I was meaning more from a usability perspective.
You only really want to see good graphics when you've gone somewhere to look at graphics. When you want info, you want that info displayed clearly and quickly.
I worry for a return of splash pages on commercial sites.
(I only bring the subject up here because it was an impressive example of what can be done with it graphically, btw - got me thinking of what will happen when/if it starts getting used more widely)

Each site should be tailored to what it is providing
but I can definitely see what your saying with regards to designers lumping unnecessary animations and graphics everywhere. The best designers should always consider UX/UI first, but we know that rarely happens. I've not had a need to use canvas yet, though I have used some of the transforms and transitions to animate links, tabs and headers and the like. Know your limits though...
