Why do you need a viewport shader for animation?

Viewport shaders are optimized for speed and performance for smooth playback and as responsive interaction as possible during animations. Animated materials and textures require shader re-compilation, and this is a computationally expensive and resource heavy task, that is generally preformed on the CPU rather than the graphics card).

What’s the material system in Blender 2.8?

(I’m very inexperienced).
