That's a great question. I'll try to answer the best I can since you didn't highlight specifically what you were looking for the program to do. I'll assume you're referring to general animation. 

I'm not sure I would classify Adobe Photoshop's video tools as "animation friendly". Just like Photoshop's limited support for 3D, they seem to be add-on features in search of a "true purpose". 

I would agree that Illustrator could benefit more with an increased support for working with other Adobe animation software such as Character Animator, Adobe Animate and Adobe After Effects. Especially Animate because currently the two toolkits don't match up at all.

Since Adobe is highly driven by their user base, my suggestion would be to join Adobe User feedback forums and generate a ground swell of support for a point upgrade that would involve some major changes in the functionally and in the UI (to make it more compatible with Animate). Honestly, I believe that if they thought that there were more users for this, that this would be something that Adobe would entertain.

For animation is more comfortable to use After Effects, you can easily take vectors from Ai to Ae
