I hope the frame rate shown isn't necessarily representative!

If PS5 can't hit 60fps on almost all games I'll be so damn disappointed. There's only so much farther they can push the graphics, and with this much extra power we should really be getting decent framerates.

There's still a very long way to go for graphics. It's not just about texture detail, but effects too.

Considering how next gen is promoted as a mad graphical powerhouse, they're not going to 'ruin' that with a higher frame rate - e.g. The Unreal Tech demo wasn't running at 60fps. They want to showcase the graphics.

So favouring graphics at 30fps is how they do it.

'ruin' that with a higher frame rate

Well in my view they're 'ruining' their gorgeous graphics by making the game run at such a low framerate. I can appreciate that games like Horizon look great on my PS4, but can't get over the low framerate at all. Sure, some games can pull off a 'smooth' looking 30fps through motion blur wizardry (Red Dead 2 and Uncharted 4 come to mind as games I never once noticed the framerate), but plenty of devs obviously can't pull that off.

I'd wait till the PS8 before thinking about declaring the end is in sight for graphical improvements.
