It was in development for 5 years so they had to go with existing technology, there were no predictions of RTX hitting consumer market in 5 years. Even then RTX is still early adopters stage, slow, buggy and expensive.

DX12 is older than 5 years so I'm still a bit surprised on that part. Porting to DX12 is not easy. it's like OpenGL vs Vulkan. Very different APIs
