It is reasonable to want a good product that makes you happy, I get and support that too. Games are meant to be fun.
But games also have another nature, which is creativity and artistic expression. When you buy a game copy you're just witnessing another person's or teams vision and you either appreciate or you don't. It's like paying tickets to see a painting or art installation, at least in part.
You can absolutely go see the mona Lisa while wearing distortive funny effect glasses (mods), all the power to you for doing so.
But DLSS isn't just that. It's the guy who was sponsoring the painter now demand that he not only uses his own BrightColor TM. dyes, (which is mostly reasonable) but they are now saying the artist should give Mona Lisa a wider smile and colorful blouse or paint a 2nd version with those attributes because "people find it pretty".
DLSS 5 is genAI pushed into gaming and genAI in art is terribly problematic anti-humanist process that kills the creative soul of human work and promotes whatever the capitalist free market considers "good" at the time while oppressing anything alternative as an instrument of the elite class.
It sounds like we are on the same side of this so I'm not sure why you're arguing with me. If they give this control to the users instead of the developers, you can use it or not use it at much as you want, instead of having entire games irreversibly ruined by it.
