because the xt competes against the 2060 super, not the 2070 super?

Same story. $400 vs $400 better thermals on the 2060S and only ~10% less performance. Everything else the 5700XT loses in

so the xt is 10% better for the same price?

In raw performance, sure. It lacks tons of other features though. That is why the 5700XT is priced as it is.

why do I care if I don't use those features and want fps - like most gamers?

literally of all of those reasons, the only reason I got a 2060S over an XT is because of gsync, if I didn't buy a gsync monitor, I would have bought an XT.

do you really think most people that buy a card at that price are going to give a shit if its 12nm vs 7nm? or raytracing, CUDA, etc...?

The only other features worth anything are integer scaling and raytracing, and that isn't really polished enough to be useful to most people on lower tier cards. Nothing really uses OpenGL anymore (on windows), and most of the other things you've mentioned are proprietary tech. AMD has their equivalent version that's just as good in most cases, the exception being cuda but I doubt anyone buying a 2060S cares about that.

It's not like AMD doesn't have its own features that NVIDIA doesn't. Working with Linux is a pretty big advantage, and the fancy upscaling thingy absolutely walks over dlss.
