Competent graphics engineers are expensive apparently, players don't seem to care much, so management doesn't see this as a bad idea: picture pretty, sales go brrrrr.
I think the most workable angle today is to improve game competition by strengthening player communities when it comes to offering alternatives. Consumer associations of some kind, I'm not sure how that would work these days. That would work against other player-hostile practices too, like vendor-locked game servers. Only that there doesn't seem to be an actor with a financial incentive to do that, so probably not gonna happen anytime soon, unless someone from the 0.01% suddenly decides to pick up such a hobby.
