It’s nowhere near as simple as 3 settings now there are different antialiasing techniques, path tracing lighting or reflections, upscaling (multiple algorithms) etc.
Nothing is all just fully positive and each has tradeoffs
Those are typically incorporated into the presets. I am not just talking about Low, Medium, High for individual settings. There's almost always a preset option that will set all the other settings according to what's deemed appropriate by the developer for the selected quality level.

The upscaling, frame generation, path tracing etc are not.
For the reason I mentioned, none of its objective you're selecting between trade offs of crispness, artifacts, better lighting and reflection and framerate.
It's no longer just resolution of rendering and resolution of textures and a few post effects.
