Yeah a lot is QoL but the thing with QoL stuff is that it sounds small in theory but when you get them they are some of the hardest things to go back from. Making a gen feel like much bigger a jump than say just higher resolution games, which last gen basically was. Last gen we got HDR and '4k' but outside of that it was practically the same. Most games still 30 fps, load times longer than ever due to giant game sizes, etc.
you gotta try Astrobot or the adaptive triggers in a shooter some time man.
