Because the animation simulates zooming in and out of a page of a book - zooming in to show the actual words, plus markings and highlighter colors.
Hence, with the sShapes method, the background paper, the text, the markings, the highlights, all maintain their spatial relationships when the zooming is done prior to the sRender node.
If I were to use the Text+, it's much harder to maintain the spatial orientation of the words on the 'paper', and other annotations. For example, if I simulate zooming into the page, by increasing font size, I have to find a way to synchronise the white background increasing in size to maintain the same ratio of the page-edge-margin.
Whereas, it's really easy using the sText/sBoolean method (as per my other questions on using the sBoolean, which you responded to on the other thread). Except that the sText node is slow on my macOS.
