I agree with your point re people not even noticing. There are so many titles with jaw-dropping visuals on PS5 and it's hard to complain. But the numbers are numbers - PS5 isn't suited for 4k native gaming and it's not even close. Perhaps with the new upscaling? I don't know. I've RTX 4090 that is leagues ahead of PS5 and there are games that reach its limits in 4k (see Alan Wake 2 - a great game btw, or Black Myth Wukong).
It also boils down to the software part - sadly a lot of games are badly optimized due to laziness. UE5 is getting popular and games made with it have already demonstrated that PS5 may struggle with them. I believe over time PS5 Pro will become the baseline for optimization, leading to more frustrated PS5 owners wanting to upgrade.
Speaking of handhelds, Steamdeck is also mind-blowing good.
