If you just suck at painting and cant create realistic depictictions of anything, its not an artificial attempt.
If you have a paintbrush that can only create realistic art, then doing anything else would be artificial.
Realistic 3D games are much harder to develop rather than 2D pixel roguelike deckbuilder platformer metroidvanias with PS2 graphics, so it doesnt apply to videogames, atleast not yet.
Also, videogames should shun realism anyway (in graphics) since its never been the main focus of videogames anyway, videogames are about interactivity to facilitate escapism, not staring at realistic moving pictures of things you cant interact with, thats boring, like sitting in the cuckchair watching a movie.
Triple A studios want to make you believe otherwise because graphics is all they have, and they have spent billions on EASILY ADVERTISABLE GRAPHICS for their engines.
Interactivity has never been their main focus because that actually requires effort on their part, and soul, which they sorely lack. And you cant advertise interactivity (good gameplay for example) as easily as you can advertise graphics.
