A lot of that comes from modern engines using deferred rendering where everything, even down to lighting, is a glorified screenspace effect. Because of the screenspace nature of Deferred rending, doing transparency is pain that'll quickly kill performance. It's also the reason why MSAA has been absent.

The problem is that temporal effects just ghost and blurr the shit out of the image to the point where the N64 looks crystal clear in comparison.

Modern deferred rendering can't into transparencies (not without a significant performance penalty) either. It seems as though realtime 3D rendering regressed technologically when deferred shading became a thing.
