This, but unironically. Games don't even need such realistic graphics, anyway - I'd much rather play a stylized or even 2d game where the devs focused on mechanics and fun, rather than pretty lights.
Minecraft, ULTRAKILL, Undertale, Celeste
all of them some of the best games in my opinion, how many use ray tracing? ZERO.
Celeste still has really nice lighting in places, imo, but you are right, it all just comes from good colour choice and artistic skill, not some premade graphics option that they flipped on.
