And yet large enough to support the existence of DF whom has a heavy focus on exactly this. So obviously a market exists.

My sense is that frame rate is a buzzy topic for nerds to nerd out over. The same way that nerds use to nerd out over RAM. Talking about it seems like a high effort status signal. But those can be swapped out for other things easily.

You can't feel RAM, you can feel bad framerate.
