How isn't it done?

If I were trying to recreate it I would use Plexus. Not saying that's how this one was done but it could easily be done with Plexus.

not at all to be honest

This isn't really an effect. It is animation.
There aren't shortcuts just techniques.

OP was asking about the animated text in the beginning, not the entire animation. The animated text in the beginning is a bunch of white lines transforming into a text logo. Easily done with Plexus.

do it then please

Hey, always glad to see people posting information here.
As someone not as talented as the creator of the video in question, I am not qualified to speak on what this project takes to make.
But if you look at any 3 seconds of this video you can see the care and attention that goes into animating every bit.
Plexus has lines connecting vertices, but when it comes down to precise movements like that in the text, it is simply animation.
It could be frame by frame(which would be dumb), but is essentially a talented animator using tools to minimize manual animation with masks and techniques.
When asking "how" for things like this, all people can do is point towards small ways that minimize frame by frame animation.
There is no plugin that will get you that result ever. Only intelligent ways to minimize the work involved with how detailed you must animate.
Simple tricks like a wiggle to a mask or shape. That help randomize your feel without requiring you to do every small pixel, but there aren't any real shortcuts.
I don't want to repeat the go do it, but maybe you should try. It would be a learning experience.

Most likely pre-created assets being rotated and moved into position while being painted in. You can use the brush to paint on opacity and can even get it to trace and mimic you brush strokes. Thats how I would do it anyways.
Yeah this. Or they might have use a combination of trim paths, rotation and scaling or position with masks.

Yeah that. Perhaps they could have used a combination of paths, trim, scaling and rotation or changing position with face covers.
what are trim paths?
It's a thing you can do with shape layers. Check out this video
