I also like DLSS, but the OP is correct that it is a problem. Specifically it's a problem with understanding what are these cards capable of. Theoretically we would like to see separately performance with no upscaling at all, then separately with different levels of upscaling. Then we would be able to see easier what is the real performance boost of the hardware, and of the upscaler separately.

It's like BMW comparing new M5 model to the previous gen M5 model, while previous gen is on the regular 95 octane, and new gen is on some nitromethane boosted custom fuel. With no information how fast the new car is on a regular fuel.

How situation actually looks like will be revealed soon via independent tests. I'm betting its bit of both, no way they can't progress in 2 years raw performance at all, other segments still manage to achieve this. Even 10%, combined with say 25% boost with DLSS, nets nice FPS increase. I wish it could be more but we don't have a choice right now.

Does normal gamers actually notice any difference on some normal 4k low latency monitors/tvs? I mean any form of extra lag, screen tearing etc.

Seems like we're now in the Intel CPU stage where they just keep increasing the TDP to squeeze out a few more percentage points, and soon we'll see the same degradation from overheating that they did.
