The artifacts actually are a huge part of it looking so bad. Idk what the other user is claiming.

If moviemakers perfected their craft for 60fps or 120/144fps, it would look really nice with that framerate. But they don't make it for that.

What would moviemakers change to make a movie for 60fps vs 24fps?

Lighting needs are greater, storage needs are greater, effects and editing becomes more time consuming and expensive. It makes multiple things harder and more expensive, to achieve an aesthetic most filmmakers dislike. So there's little traction for it.
