Why are modern devs so obsessed with blurry graphics?

Just started playing and the game had this latent blurriness which i couldn't pin down. I turned off motion blur but somehow it felt like it was still there and i noticed what looked like some kind of latent depth of field effect popping in and out for no good reason.

So i went over to nexus and found a mod that removed much of it and the game looks SO much better now.

Why do modern devs do this? At least make this stuff optional. Every modern game i play it feels i have to fight against this stuff i don't get it. Do people actually enjoy those effects?

Probably to disguise the fact that its ps4 level of detail?

They did a pretty good job at it too.

But the visuals aren't bad, and sharpness makes even subpar graphics look good so i'm not sure i get the logic there. Feels more like it's some kind of aesthetic choice.

To be fair, motion blur is nothing new and pretty common in video games so i'm not surprised that it's an option.

In the past it was bloom, MOAR BLOOM!!! MOAR CHROMA!!!! Now it's motion blur. Engines are designed for weak consoles, so in order to hide the crap performance, motion blur was added.
