Maybe it's just me, but isn't it pretty much a given that a cyberpunk game taking place in something called "Night City" is extremely likely to have flahing lights and stuff?

It sounds like this goes even beyond that, with specific scenes that are all but deliberately designed to trigger seizures. Flashing lights are to be expected, but not to this scale.

Those warnings are pretty pointless since most people ignore them anyway.

They're largely a CYA measure, preventing publishers from being sued if somebody has a seizure while playing their game. Most people don't really ignore them so much as they accept that it's a risk and move forward anyway because they're not in any particular danger. Those epileptics with a history of seizures induced by video games do tend to consider it more seriously, including many that give up gaming altogether for it.
