The problem isn’t that they don’t look good, it’s that they don’t look right. Modders extracted the DLSS 5 library from this game and tried using it with a bunch of other games, and it completely changes how characters look (down to altering facial structure).

Says who? If I paid for the game and the tech, can’t I be the judge of what looks right? You mention modders, who themselves often completely change the look and feel of a game, and characters.
