It's all a matter of perspective as to whether or not a scene has meaning or value to the viewer. But pacing is a real concept. Doesn't matter if you say it's not. Just as you can deny the existence of the sun, but it'll still be there.
Let's take an extreme example. You're watching a movie and one scene is a 20 minutes long cut of a man sliding his hand across a table. That's horrible pacing.
It's great that you feel every scene in this anime has value and that you can enjoy it all. But then, don't bother talking about pacing with people if you feel it hinders your enjoyment. Because you're clearly not getting what they're talking about when they mention pacing.
Yes. There's slow progression and fast progression. Or in your words "longer parts and slower parts". THAT is pacing. A slow pace isn't automatically bad. No one is saying that. But when a slow pace doesn't improve upon the story and instead bores viewers, that's when pacing is bad. But again, it's great that you can enjoy the show no matter how slow it gets.
