How did developers forget how to do post-processing effects after the PS2 era?

The PS2 had extremely advanced post-processing effects compared to everyone else, iirc it had a completely seperate chip that handled them. I know a lot of devs talked about how hard it was to make PS2 games because you basically had to re-learn how to do 3D visuals with "layers" of post-processsing. It's why PS2 exclusives would often look great but multiplatform games and PS2 ports would look like shit. The original Bluepoint version of the MGS HD collection was missing a bunch of effects due to this

PBR isn't flexible, it allows you to render realistic graphics, but it requires some out-of-the-box tricks to achieve some cinematic scenes, sometimes by emulating real equipment or by some insane hackery. People who just get some standard materials from substance database can't make it.

You can put the green pukefilter back on if you miss it so much, they put in it for people like you

I can literally recreate this image in Garrys Mod.

Konami just doesn't give a shit anymore. Silent Hill 2 remake was god awful and badly ripped off Resident Evil 4 Remake.
