It is just a matter of preference, I don’t see why people get bent out of shape about it.

30fps is fine for lots of games. Especially for stuff that doesn’t require super twitchy gameplay.

If somebody really cares about 60fps or 120fps, fine. But the developers have some effects they want to implement, and if some of them don’t fit into 8.3ms, let those of us who don’t mind 30fps enjoy them, right?

30FPS on the world's #1 fastest GPU is totally not OK. Heck, I'd be unhappy with 30FPS on my ancient Radeon Pro 580.

I remember easily getting frame rates far in excess of my monitor's top refresh rate back in 1999.

Why isn’t it ok?

Because this means the game runs even worse on pretty much every PC out there, since the majority of gamers don't use the most powerful GPU on the market. And it's not like this game has some outstanding visuals which would somehow justify such performance.
