I see your point, but also consider that interactivity comes to mind in part because 3d models are so expensive to describe compared to 2d shapes that they're largely worth it for interactive stuff. We might see more innovation on that front with a low-cost barrier to entry.

Plus, scaling dynamic lighting up has always been the Big Bad of computer graphics, and precomputation will always give us an amazing heuristic to use against it. Everything else basically tends towards not mattering: we can only absorb a finite number of details, but we live in a world with virtually infinite lights.
