It's not really arbitrary. I and many others just find certain types of games genuinely unpleasant to play at that fps. For me it doesn't matter much when it's a game like Undertale but for 3D games with a lot of camera movement the choppiness looks bad and the input lag makes it feel bad to play due to having gotten used to things feeling very smooth.

How did you guys cope from 1994-2020 when the majority of games were 30fps?

Well I didn't get a high refresh rate monitor till 2017 so before that year had only ever experienced 30-60fps so getting used to over 100 has made 30-60 feel worse as a result though the latter still feels fine. One can argue that this is the one downside of a high refresh rate panel since last year I was able to try an early Xbox only Forza Horizon game but since I was used to playing the newer ones at a high framerate it felt bad to play. It's still worth it though and I dunno if you've experienced above 60 before but if you have a screen capable of that I do recommend trying it out with games like Mario Kart World since that'll be one of the ways it'll feel like a major leap over MK8.
