It is / would be nice as a background for pointers or similar elements - nice to have something other than the usual 'flat' red covering everything... But as an ident, I agree, it cheapens the look.
If they really wanted to show off the sequence in isolation, it would have been better to use it as a post-ident, pre-programme sting.
