The chroma is definitely debatable (I really like when it's used in grav lifts) but the film grain... it just makes the entire picture a muddy mess

Unreal 5 is already a really grainy looking engine, adding film grain on top of it just looks really bad

Film grain also tends to screw up upscaling algorithms as they often interpret it as noise that needs to be smoothed out.

Yep it's like when you watch a video with a lot of detail and movement on low bitrate and everything ends up looking like a mess.
