Because DLSS isn't real performance.
It's a clever upscaling technique to improve visual quality of lower resolution gameplay.
It's a valid technique, but shouldn't be used to measure performance, since you can use any upscaling technique you want (nearest, checkerboard, DLSS, etc...) and get faked higher results.
It is "real" performance. Better FPS is better performance. It's technology leveraging for increased performance.
By your logic then smart access memory shouldn't have been used here either. The vast majority of users are not going to have a Ryzen 5000 series CPU so it isn't indicative of the general performance uplift from upgrading to one of these cards.
I see no issue with utilizing everything the card can provide when comparing cards. It's literally the reason these technologies exist.
Not leveraging the proprietary technologies to improve performance renders their existence pointless.
