I'll leave here what I've commented in a community: I see this a bit too much as a "superstition". Nice words "ohhh, it's a bionic text" but... do we really know what something "bionic" is? Or are we letting our ears to be filled with strange words? In my personal case, my attention depends neither on the speed of reading nor on the arrangement of the bold letters in the text. In fact, right as @arterlioz.lens, they make me more nervous and more distracted because my attention starts to focus on things that I am NOT expecting to be there. I repeat - always in my case - the attention depends on my day-to-day habits, on many, many variables such as the notifications that I have on, or even if I am or am not hungry. I'm walking a bit on tippy toes about it.
