I agree.

10 years ago, Intel tried to make a case for ray tracing in games:

So, now it finally seems to be coming. I do see the use case.

I don't see this case for videos, as ffmpeg processes. Even if there is
a small niche for it, just about *everything* would be different -
except the output, if rendered to pixel graphics.

My 2¢, as of today ;-),
