Yes, that's exactly the point. I've just been told Nvidia sponsored titles run amazing on anything and then you told me that I am just been a contrarian.
No it didn't, there are games prior to it like Control which roughly had the same set of RT features and ran better, well if you can call that better, at least with a 4090 you could get above 60 natively.

Control world might not be on the same scale, even without RT the fps is higher. The impact of RT is -41% in both cases. and I remember Cyberpunk being openly mocked for getting pulled out from the PSN store, for the T pose, and wide array of bugs. The artistic direction and story were praised, but that got lost among the sea of memes about the bugs; Anyone finding any kind of enjoyment in the game was called an idiot. The right thing to do was to slander it. They made a dedicated subreddit so that the people having fun could talk with each other instead of being flamed for finding any positive point among the crisis.
GameWorks was also slandered before it became irrelevant.
The witcher 3 (GameWorks insideTM) was accused of being noticeably slower on Kepler and heavily favoring Maxwell on purpose.
Assasin's creed unity (Gameworks) was also a real dumpster fire.
And since Jensen outing about GPU price only going up from now, Nvidia is certainly not the most liked company among the trio.
I'm using Nvidia because I like to use Maxon Redshift and even cycle is much faster with optix, but I'm fully aware that Jensen interest don't really align with mine.
Even the argument that Nvidia is "avant-garde" for jumping on Ray tracing, Path tracing, upscaling, and frame generation is also vehemently disapproved by the people who believe that full rasterization and native rendering is bound to make a comeback, and RT is nothing more than a cash grab, unnecessary work for the developers, and actually stifle GPU innovation by focusing on tech bound to become abandonware.
There's slander on both sides. It's always been the case
