Yes. And the thing is, some modern games ARE overcast with no dynamic lights, and then go on to use Lumen of all things. This was the case with Silent Hill remake, and that thing runs very slowly, looks WORSE on PS5 Pro, the grass looks worse than in older games and so on.
Seriously, the plot of Silent Hill was invented to justify optimization hacks, you have a permanent foggy space called "fog space" to make easier to manage objects on screen, and the remake instead stupidly waste a ton of processing trying to make some realistic (instead of supernatural looking) fog.
It's not the 90s anymore. Using basic linear fog with ultra-realistic assets would just look terribly out of place.
The point about Lumen stands though. Baked lighting would have been much better in this case.
