Understanding syntax would be really amazing for merges (not sure if it's even possible), but for diffs I don't immediately see why I should use that over simpler syntax-unaware tools. Highlighting the actual change in a string is important, and so is ignoring whitespace, but diffsofancy -w does it just fine. What else would I need? (Well, I guess the only use-case I can see from the demo is 2 compact changes in a single line, but… meh.)
On the other hand, even though my diffs are usually not that huge, sometimes they might be, and I don't want to switch tools every time that happens (I have just git alias and I don't even remember my exact config, nor should I care). So being slow is not great.
