Extra smoothness for a frame of input delay is a good boon for any non-action games that just have cool animation. Or even less hardcore action games. I'm one of the few people who doesn't want the higher fps for gameplay, I just think 30 -> 60 looks better. On the other hand, I don't see the 60->120 jump well.
I never used framegen though, because Steam Deck is all I have and didn't play around much.
Yeah, that's reasonable. I think it's pretty cool tech, even if my own priorities and my display prevent me from using it as well.
The only place I really take issue with it is when someone like Capcom pushes it hard in a game like MH: Wilds to reach 60FPS. 30->60 is adding 33ms of input lag, in an action game, reaching a level of input lag we haven't seen in the mainstream since N64 games that couldn't push past 15-20FPS.
Once you're at least at 60FPS native, you're only adding 16ms of input lag, and that begins to feel like a pretty reasonable trade if you really like that smooth look.
