Microsoft would have known about RTX, at the absolute latest, by 2016 although I would assume a year or two earlier is far more likely, somewhere between four to six years prior to their console launch and then yes, they and Sony whom I'm sure was briefed on the technology, forced AMD to support the industry standard technology at least for the consoles.
There is an industry standard, nVidia is supporting it, AMD has to date refused to for their consumer parts.
As far as agreeing with the op, his follow up post said the XP version had superior color lighting, seriously that's so absurdly wrong it needed to be addressed. The XP lighting is hot trash, absolute garbage in comparison(for it's time it was great, but we aren't talking about for its time).
Q2RTX has, by far, the best top to bottom lighting I've seen in any game ever, Metro Exodus is the only title that I'd even consider remotely comparable.
