From my understanding, some older GPUs don’t support frame gen.

I’m confused. Don’t GPUs do that?

Ups and downs, basically it work very well to give you 60fps in some game. Check this x more info.

This is used on the deck specifically for framegen. Native frame gen options in games add a lot of latency at 30 or less fps, which usually makes them unplayable. Lossless scaling 's framegen option is less accurate in creating the in-between frames, but has far less input latency, making it a viable option.
It doesn’t work for all games, some games will still feel really bad with it enabled. But there are a lot of games where you can use it to run a 30fps game at 60fps, with only slightly more input lag than using a Bluetooth controller.

This app is very useful on my laptop with cheap integrated graphics. Unfortunally lsfg only works with vulkan, and games like minecraft (which i play with shaders) does not support it.

I think I saw that Minecraft just added vulkan as a graphics option, but I’m not sure what versions of Minecraft.

This is cool, but it will take time until most of the mods, especially those relying on graphics will get updated to newer versions, with vulkan support implemented.

On the deck doesn’t do the other features the LS store page indicates? The resolution scaling and the improvement of anime/2d games or the one for pixel games?

I don’t know of a way to use the scaling options LS offers on deck, just the frame generation.
Most demanding games have upscaling built in, and the deck already has several scaling options built in, so it’s less of a need than the frame gen options.
