It's not raw framerates that are bad now, developers pushing tech is not a bad thing and has been how gaming has been since it's invention, aside from the "dark ages" of X360 ports where PC just meant 360 graphics at crazy res and framerates.

The problem nowadays is games are straight unplayable even at lowered settings or extreme hardware due to shader compilation or streaming stutters. This is just bad programming with no fix aside from an engine rework, and most devs don't have engine programmers anymore since they just ship UE4/5
