I think people tend to forget that power alone isn't the only limiting factor in a game's graphics. Money and manpower can be bottlenecks as well; imagine building a whole game like GTA with every asset up to the standard of movie CGI, the amount of manhours and resources it would take is simply insane. It would probably take a team of thousands working for a decade at a cost of billions.

I think sharing generic assets or using procedural shaders (think No Man's Sky or partially Horizon: Zero Dawn) are going to become more common in the future to solve that issue ...
