In a discussion about broad market trends and the overall industry, 3-4 people constantly trying to insert their own personal gaming fetishes and preferences is irrelevant and frankly stupid that the entire discussion has to always revolve around the preferences of a handful of people. I'm not interested in what settings you like to game at or what you need as a gamer, it has nothing of value to add to the conversation if we're talking the overall market, where the industry is trending, how massively rising budgets are impact the business, etc. etc. etc. 

200 million people with ps5 level hardware is not a small festish of people. They wanna play there games at the best possible perfomance they can afford, now naming a few games that didn't even bomb and only did ok is not gonna stop thirdpartys from wanting to stand  out graphically. It's like saying graphics don't matter because Xbox flopped against ps2 or many games with great graphics like kill zone franchise didn't sell amazing as well. Bouncer and many more.

Again my point is the majority of those people are not like "you" guys (the 3-4 people that flood every thread with their personal preferences. I know it may be shocking but not everyone buys hardware for the same reason as you, nor does owning a PC = graphics driven gamer enthusiast). 

The sales of games that are banking hard on being sold on graphics primarily are showing shockingly low sales. Even for games that are critically acclaimed or have significant marketing behind them. 

Now maybe we could discuss that and not "well I can only enjoy games if it's like this" ... like it adds nothing of value to a market wide discussion.
