I wasn't commenting on the DLSS 5 slop filter here, only on the general question "do 'great' graphics matter in a game". I agree that slopifying a game takes you further away from the intended art direction, which I'm not a fan of.

And whatever the mechanical premise of the actual gameplay of Bodycam, the impact of it would be much less with stylized Fortnite cartoon graphics as opposed to the current photorealistic presentation. That's all.

DLSS 5 is not meant to be slapped on like a filter but to be something the devs use as another way to craft their desired visual style.

OP's video is interesting because it shows what it does to a game if applied several times. But even once makes the characters look weird because it goes so hard against the original art style.

DLSS 5 as it is seems way more suited for something like say Resident Evil that is in a "realistic but not quite" territory by default.
