I honestly can't tell the difference between 1440p and 4k.  1440p is more than enough.  120 fps, I can't sing it's praise enough.  I honestly think 60 to 120 is bigger than 30 to 60.  The smoothness and response of playing at 120 fps is bliss.  

I view gaming similar to cars.  Is there a difference between a Ford focus and Porsche 911?  Absolutely.  Does a Ford focus get the job done and perfectly acceptable?  Absolutely.  Same logic with high end gpus.  

The biggest issue I see with console next generation is cooling.  I have two 140 mm intake fans, two 140 mm exhaust fans, 1 120 mm exhaust fan, cpu has two 140 mm fans and the gpu has 3 fans... and my PC is pumping out 40C air.  Compact consoles are going to be hard just because of heat dissipation.  

Ford Focus v Porsche 911 is waaaay overstating it, every man and his dog can tell them apart, you don't need to be a car aficionado.

Whereas most people will think they're looking at the same game when comparing spiderman 1 & 2.

You're super into graphical fidelity and that's great, but the average gamer doesn't have a clue about pixel count, geometry, path-tracing, raytracing vs baked, frame-rate/pacing, environment density etc.

You're underestimating just how well trained your eye is compared to the average gamer, by virtue of having a comparatively much higher level of interest on that side of things.

I think you are grossly underestimating the difference and the average gamer.  My wife is a casual gamer and only plays halo coop with me.  She immediately could tell the difference between her screen on a 3050 versus my screen on a 4090 just this past weekend when we played halo infinite.
