I disagree. It seems as if some kind of ray tracing is becoming mainstream in these new consoles. Far earlier than many people assumed even just a few short months ago. That is a huge change and I presume the tech is here to stay and will get exponentially better the gen after this one. That's exciting, that's opening the door to honest to god photo-realism, and that's no bad thing at all.
I'm also very excited about the thought of basically instant loading and all the changes to game design that could bring, plus the overall snappiness of everything.
Also these consoles and upcoming eye tracking tech that is now feasible, combined with the new techniques that take advantage of that technology, could literally see VR graphics that are generations ahead of what they can produce on a TV screen (foveated rendering and AI filling out the peripheral vision meaning huge resources can go into rendering the very narrow area the player is directly looking at). Now that's just insane and I seriously hope we're going to get that this gen with PSVR2.
