That’s pretty cool actually, though that might be a bit limiting if they ever want to change it to be more complex. There is a program called Plymouth that is most seen in free operating systems like Fedora and Ubuntu to display animated boot splashes. If you have plymouth installed in your Linux system, you can navigate to /usr/share/plymouth/ to see that the animation is a sequence of png images that are displayed at boot using kernel mode settings (KMS) and direct rendering manager (DRM). Pretty neat.

needs to be simple code-wise so it can be displayed in a really limited boot environment. Fonts are complex but they already have to display text so.

makes sense. if your preboot environment can already render text, it’s an easy way to achieve animation.
