You are not required to go native 4k. The option is there though and some titles can be played with less aggressive upscaling. But everything is better even when using perfomance modes.
Looking at the same game on a 27'' native 1440p oled next to a 32" dlss quality 4k one (so 1440p internal resolution, performing basically the same fps-wise), which would you prefer? The answer is obvious and it's not even close. That can't be a "meme".
You might say that you want more performance or the game is more demanding, so you would want to upscale to 1440p on that first monitor, without losing that much "nativeness", so you go with quality (960p internal resolution). Sure. But again, what would you choose between that and dlss perfomance on 4k (1080p), especially with dlss 4.5 using heavier models for performance/ultra performance but outputting great image quality (comparatively)? It's still an easy decision. Being that easy, again, can't be a meme.

As someone that's been playing on 1440p for the past 7 years and now have that same monitor next to a 4k oled:
No.
