In theory- likely yes. MS is working on a shader cache solution for the Xbox app likely to foster the console-like smoothness.

Real world? Its MS- they will likely mess it up somehow.

This year at gamescom, Microsoft is highlighting new gaming features coming for Windows, particularly for handheld devices. We want to highlight one of the DirectX team’s most exciting new contributions to the PC gaming ecosystem, which will make its debut on the new ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox...

No, it'll still be the same PC game.

That's not really a solution but a bandaid since it's just a standardized API to download precompiled shaders off a server it only works for fixed hardware devices like handhelds or the future Xbox PC. It's useless for the rest of PCdom where there are thousands of combinations of different video cards with different driver releases, all of which need a custom precompiled shader file. Those precompiled shader files also need be updated with every new (beta) driver release from Nvidia, AMD or Intel.
It's relatively easy for MS and perhaps other publishers to create precompiled shaders for their own games and a very limited number of custom hw, it's impossible for 3rd party publishers to support anything else. In other words: this is a crap solution that has only one goal: to give an edge to Microsoft's own products.

Eh....ok, but that screenshot was on outlier. Most of the results were a lot closer.

Highly unlikely. The Steam Machine will just be another configuration they need to optimize for.

Gotta start somewhere. Full Screen Experience has been officially out for only a month and its already improved CPU efficiency which is why I'm guessing Cyberpunk gotta a performance gain.

Sure, but different engines are going to perform differently as the results in other games showed. Definitely an improvement though so it is obviously a good thing.

uh... well... no...
it's more likely that Microsoft will try to fix the shitty development habits of developers, and therefore mitigate all the issues.
they already announced they are working on a dynamic shader delivery system, where you downloaded the shaders for your system with the game. that's to eliminate shader stutters.
which would of course be the job of the developers to sort out, but they don't... so Microsoft has to fix it for them.
so it's more like the increased focus on gaming features for operating systems will mitigate the shitty optimisation by devs, and not that devs will optimise better
