There is absolutely no point in making graphics more photorealistic than maybe Skyrim.
Sure there is. It looks pretty, and people like pretty. Maybe you don’t particularly care, but many people do. There’s a reason Skyrim got a whole HD remake in 2016, and there’s a reason that most of the most popular mods for both versions are mods that add incredibly hi-res textures.
Also, that’s quite an exaggeration there. I have yet to run into a game I can’t run with my $200 GPU. Sure, I can’t run every game at 4k ultra settings with ray tracing, but you clearly don’t care about that type of thing, so why would that matter?
