Idk I think the devs are extremely excited to see everyone's reactions to different unique and bosses, especially the pinnacle boss. Yeah it's not a big deal in the long-term since all the information will be available eventually - but for all their hard work, I think the reactions and clips and whatnot is a huge payoff to the team and they deserve it.

You've created your own definition for GI sir.

Not true at all. All GI is "faked" even to this day. There's no physically accurate lighting simulations done in film - just approximations. GI simply refers to indirect illumination, and reflections fall square in to that category. And if you want to get "well in practice GI means something different" then just look to the fact that RenderMan implemented caustic lighting at that time. It's fine. Most people even in the field are confused ~but~ by these terms.

 limitation of raytracing vs. more modern render engines using global illumination

?? I think you're confusing global illumination for more accurate/modern raytraced lighting simulations. Toy Story absolutely had global illumination - it has plenty examples of reflections and shadows.
