Is this because developers used to make surfaces shinier than they were in real life long before RTX was invented? So now with RTX everything looks like a polished mirror.

Or is there another reason?

No that's pretty much it, it's specially a problem since games aren't RTX only so the devs have to accommodate both RTX and regular lighting so they compromise.

It'll get better with time in the search of ever better fidelity
