In game engines (or even when exported from the 3D modelling application), animation data is baked to a simpler representation because, for games, processing beziers and IKs is way too expensive for real-time.

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. They allow very high-budget games to run better and, in the long run, make the job of writing drivers MUCH simpler to hardware manufacturers. This allows beautiful mixing between baked and real-time.
