I know what you mean, but G-Sync monitors are weird. They do not behave like normal displays. I _always_ run with switchres 0, my desktop refresh rate was 144hz, and MAME was running at 30hz in Rampage in full screen exclusive mode.

The justification is to be able to quickly tab between multiple windows. There are probably 20 people on the planet who care about input lag as much as you or I do. This is just an extra option for people. It's not replacing standard windowed most or full screen exclusive mode.
