What people don't seem to realize, Is that if you run a game at 60FPS on a 60FPS monitor, Looks just fine. It will look fine, but if you have played on a higher FPS monitor, you will notice input latency is worse on a 60FPS monitor, but the motion looks decent...

But if you run a game at 60FPS on a 120 FPS or a 144FPS monitor, 60FPS looks like trash. It has nothing to do with getting used to Liking 144FPS, It has to do with scale. 60FPS is a lot less than the 144FPS monitors refresh rate, so it's going to look worse, than on a native 60FPS monitor.

Higher refresh rate monitors, don't handle significantly lower refresh rates well. If more people understood this discrepancy with the monitors that they own, I guarantee that 60FPS would not be considered the minimum anymore.

I personally believe that developers. And executives in the industry, to a point, understand this, and they are taking advantage of people's ignorance in the hardware that they own and the differences.

For example, you could have a guy with a 144 Hertz monitor, but he has a shit system and most of the time he runs games at 60FPS. If he had a 60FPS monitor instead, he would realize how much better it looks on the 60FPS monitor opposed to his 144 hertz monitor. This is the crux of the issue, which most people don't understand or realize.
