The pace of graphical progress is kinda unavoidably slowing down anyway though due to a combination of diminishing returns and the rising costs of pushing the cutting edge. FF7 Rebirth doesn't look massively better than its predecessor on PS4 despite being ostensibly a generation above.

We're gonna have to get used to graphical improvement slowing down whether we like it or not.

It'll happen eventually yeah though currently the question some companies are facing is if they should keep increasing costs to satisfy expectations but have insane budgets or pull back on that but experience a decline in sales. It'll get a lot better when it gets to the point when it becomes not that expensive to have photorealistic graphics but my guess is that's 10-20 years or so away.

I mean, we're at the point now where you can have a game not look cutting edge or best in class but still look "good enough" for the mass market to be satisfied. The crowd who demand the absolute latest and greatest visuals aren't the majority; if they were the Switch wouldn't be so successful and games like Minecraft and Fortnite wouldn't be so massive.
