See it from the other side, its only good if RT gets pushed (and other new tech), this means amd, intel etc are going all in to be competitive, thus reducing the time where ray tracing becomes more performant and finally fully ray traced games like quake 2.
Atleast amd does offer RT right now, and its viable in modern games. Not many thought AMD would provide RT this early, its probably due to NV's push as early as 2018.
Its not like you buy a 6800XT and you have no hw ray tracing capable gpu.... People buying RDNA2 gpus pay for the hardware ray tracing thats in them aswell. ATM, theres no new gpus from either NV or AMD thats without ray tracing hardware. All of their current Ampere and Navi2 gpus do have it, and anyone buying either of these products also buys into tay tracing hardware.
I strongly doubt there will be any gpu from either without ray tracing.
Same for consoles, theres no console out there (next gen) that doesnt have it. If you get XSS all the way to PS5 and XSX you buy into ray tracing. No matter what a random youtuber or a big tech site like HUB thinks, everyones getting ray tracing, willingfully or not.
But hey, if you dont like it, and prefer the extra performance, disable it (even possible on consoles and their exclusives). Or enable DLSS to mitigate, if that doesnt suffice, disable RT.
