IMO, DX12 is very meh. It hasn't provided any major visual leap like previous generations.

The fact you think so means you really don't grasp the complexity of video graphics.
Theres a reason CG is still done frame by frame over a number of days and not touched up in real time,
Computers absolutely do not have the processing power to pull off realistic visuals
If you want realistic environments and characters you're not playing a video game, you're an Industrial Light & Magic employee making the next starwars movie with a render farm.
if you want realistic environments, you don't have much else in the world
if you want realistic characters / npcs / enemies, you give up a realistic environment.
Hardware Raytracing is a step towards it, but there are not enough cores in the world running at enough gigaherz to pull off realism. Realism is computationally expensive and many of the effects taken advantage of today are implemented heavily restricted in their LOD levels, distance and pixel density to be even playable.
Game Graphics artists and model designers are limited to a static budget on how much memory their designs can use in order to not completely exhaust what is available.
Senua's Saga as an example, provides detailed character models, but the environments are DOF messes of mud to hide the fact that LOD dies fast beyond a few feet past the character.

You clearly put a lot of thought in this post. Uh huhh.. ok.

You are right, but GPUs will never have enough for raytracing.

I think there's enough processing power to make things realistic.
I don't think that power is used correctly.
People are always harping on about 4k and then it'll be 8k etc.
I would prefer that extra power to be used elsewhere.
1440p upscale checkerboard, DLSS. etc.
Use the power for better lighting, shadows, raytracing, etc
The thing is, companies need to sell product and so they will sell using whatever terms are needed.
