Transpiling shaders is what most game engines have done for a decade now. Everybody thinks it's stupid in that field as well, but there is no viable alternative.
MS/NV are trying to start a program to pre-compile shaders for common hardware configurations and games/engines, and simply download them to clients.

I think you mean MS/AMD since this is for hardware with AMD parts in it.
Fair point.
I think it was the most game engines once they adopted Direct 3D 8; so over two decades now.
