I don't really see the issue here (Apart from the questionable article validity)

Using ultra settings, regardless of your hardware, and moaning about poor optimisation doesn't make sense

They're designed to usually give a very small visual bump for a huge performance hit

You generally shouldn't be using ultra settings unless you have a lot of headroom, that's the point of them

If you use optimised settings and it still runs like crap, then you can maybe start to claim poor optimisation

Yep. Diminishing returns and sometimes the struggle can harm the GPU
