I think you are way overestimating how technically inclined the average gamer is. Most of them just want to play a couple rounds of fifa or madden or call of duty to blow off some steam after work, not to spend extra time and effort optimizing their gameplay experience besides maybe buying a nicer keyboard on Black Friday.

You don't tend to hear them online of course. They are the silent majority keeping the AAA industry alive.
