Call it what you like, it’s good for gamers who aren’t early adopters. Choice and options are not a bad thing...and if that’s the narrative you pushing I think that’s definitive proof you need a change of perspective. At the very least it’s selfish. 

If history taught us anything, no 1st party game developer showed what the hardware could really do in the first year. They all learning still. And the way I see it, if you want to show what next gen can do....a good example is a  Digital Foundry comparison video showing the differences between Halo Infinite on Xbox One vs Series X. The difference in FPS, resolution, textures, loading times and whatever else 343 can do will be apparent in said comparison videos. Mission accomplished, gamers will see an easy to digest way to show what next gen brings to the table. You making a mountain out of a anthill. 

Then you don't really expect much of a new gen. I expect new experiences and mechanics and new ways to play. Things not possible before. You expect the same as before but with more frames and pixels. Just go pc then.

Your expectations don’t necessarily require cutting edge tech. Just a creative developer who has a great idea.

New IP is a new experience. New mechanics is just how you play the game, purely creative and not dependant on the tech. New ways to play...new twist on existing genres. Sounds great to me....all those can be done on current gen.

Things not possible before: Faster loading times for one, 4K 60 FPS standard. Accurate ray tracing. And there have been examples of games having features in next gen versions with past gen versions missing it due to limitations. 

See, you worry too much :)
