There have always been games that focus more on graphics than anything else. There will always be games where graphics are the top priority. I don't think it's detrimental to the industry, only to those specific games. The Order is the more recent and most severe example of it imho, and the developer of that game suffered greatly for it.
You see the same thing in other mediums, as well. There are movies with lots of explosions, music with loud obnoxious guitars, books with smut, etc. Graphics are just one piece of the pie. Some will make it a bigger piece, there will always be developers who strive for balance though or think about graphics less.
