Two problems, they are big ones:

The hardware is expensive for a marginal improvement
The games coming out that best leverage the features like Ray tracing are also expensive and not good

Nvidia claims the 5070 will give 4090 performance. That's a huge generation uplift if it's true. Of course, we'll have to wait for independent benchmarks to confirm that.

The best ray tracing games I've seen are applying it to older games, like Quake II or Minecraft.

I expect they tell us it can achieve that because under the hood DLSS4 gives it more performance if enabled.

But is that a fair comparison?

They've already said it's all because of DLSS 4. The 5070 needs the new 4x FG to match the 4090, although I don't know if the 4090 has the "old" 2x FG enabled, probably not.
