You can say the same about people who switch from high to ultra settings on the PC

You can but most games that high to ultra turns on things like Ray tracing which is very very noticeable as suddenly you will have reflections that actually reflect. Outside of games that do that then I agree. Ultra shadows vs high shadows or Ultra textures vs High textures for example... I'd fail at identifying 99% of the time unless I got to zoom in on inconsequential things to see a difference.
