I was rather surprised to be told by the lady who tells
us everything on buses, just as the door closed:
"please hold on the bus is about to move" I thought most
bus passengers understood that or is it not obvious enough
since we havent quite perfected teleportation yet.

One can appreciate TfL's desire to reduce 'surface transport' passenger accidents after publication of the safety report in July last year.

I travelled on about seven buses yesterday and every one had started moving before the announcement chimed in. Maybe it needs to come before the route/destination announcement, not after.

The 142 I used yesterday made the announcement and then sat for about 10
seconds before moving off
