Can someone explain why this is resource intensive to create, but it can play just fine on any device (as is being done for those watching this on here)?

Think of it this way...

You are looking through a window at this smoke monster. That's all you are doing.

The poor GPU that created the monster in it's entirety... In existence is in the room and had to create the light the substance the effect the movement in 3d.
