Except Valve said they don’t want a mid-gen refresh. They want game developers to have a fixed target for performance tests.

A mid gen refresh wouldn’t change the performance target, just offer a better screen or something like that.

A better screen at a higher resolution will change performance targets.

Better screen doesn’t mean higher resolution exclusively

They can offer a better screen without changing resolution. Better color accuracy, VRR, and maybe OLED would improve the screen without changing the performance target.

You can improve the screen without impacting performance. Larger screen, smaller bezels, better colors, OLED, matte finish (on cheaper models), better touch accuracy, etc.
