Why do animators practice the bouncing ball?

It packs the core principles of animation into one shape: timing, spacing, squash and stretch, and follow-through. If a bounce reads as heavy or floaty, you can see exactly which frames to fix. That's why animation courses still start there.

Can I use a bouncing ball animation as a loading indicator?

Yes, a looping bounce is a common loading state. Download the Lottie JSON version, set your Lottie player to loop, and it runs at a few kilobytes without slowing the page it sits on.
