Hi, I am the author of ANS and of these diagrams you don't like - made more than a decade ago. Sure, animations are nicer, but you cannot put them into articles ... and indeed somebody else could make them through this decade.
Regarding the Standard Model, its development is mostly new experimental surprises and fitting new corrections to the Lagrangian - currently more than a hundred. It would be great to see them as kind of Taylor expansion of some simpler more fundamental model, not guessing but deriving new terms.
Where to search for such more fundamental model? Maybe in topological defects like recently growing in popularity skyrmion models. For charge quantization: by interpreting curvature of some deeper field as EM field, Gauss law counts topological charge - which has to be quantized.
I am developing this kind of approach since 2009, and seems quite promising, e.g. naturally unifying EM+QM+GEM gravity vacuum dynamics, has 3 leptons, baryons e.g. with proton lighter than neutron ...
