For $700, I was hoping for a much larger leap in visual impact.

No, its biggest problem is that it's outrageously expensive. At its core it's a four year old console selling for significantly more than release price.
Here are Playstation release prices adjusted for inflation and rounded:
- PS4 $540
- PS4 Pro $520
- PS5 Digital $490
- PS5 Pro $700
A similar relative price point to the PS4 Pro would have seen the PS5 Pro release for $470; and at that price it would likely have been popular, even without any really meaningful upgrades.
Is there not a PS5 standard? Just digital and pro?
