Your last paragraph is spot on. When I bought a 4090, frame generation wasn't even a consideration. I'm already throwing money into my computer to get the best framerate on the consumer market using a single card. I have no need for smudgy frames when I can already shove max settings through the card for 60+ fps on most everything I play. Almost like that's why I bought the damn thing.
And yeah, I've played around with frame generation a handful of times. It's a neat gimmick. But ultimately, that's all it really feels like. It's something I can flip on to flex about the absolutely ludicrous frame rates the card can get.
But from my experience on the other side of the fence before I got my current pc, I would've absolutely loved to trade a little bit of clarity for extra frames. It would've pushed a lot of stuff just over the line of being comfortable to play. Or being able to trade off some motion clarity and bump up the graphics a bit while keeping a playable fps.
