Better Graphics vs Better Gameplay

Are developers investing more time improving the graphics instead of an original story and game-play experience creation? Lately, I find 4K gaming and +100 fps enough of a technological improvement in 2017. Minecraft, Undertale, Stardew Valley, Papers Please, etc. are games with a great following, and the pixelated graphics are not a concern when those gamers are enjoying their fun experience the way developers chose.
