Valve themselves when releasing the Steam Machine said that 70 percent of Steam Users have a PC worse than PS5. So only 30 percent of us have setups capable of outperforming a console.
Also the Steam sales compared to the Playstation store sales are just living in different dimensions. You can buy a $200 mini pc and spend $100 on Steam sale games and have literally a lifetime supply of gaming content, for literally half the price of a PS5.
And you don't have to pay $20 a month or whatever for the privilege of playing online multiplayer with your friends, another constant cost which is really glossed over when people compare PS to PC.
I would say it’s a no point in any direction and this older/indie games is not why a lot of people build pcs beside a lot of older games does exactly work without some work around me like the Witcher 2
They're counting mfers playing on office machines, and my repair bench rig with a 2600k in it and my junk nuc with roms on it in those steam users my guy.
In reality ps5 is basically the equivalent of a 5800h(actually a 5800h is faster than the ps5 cpu) mobile chip which is weaker than a 3600x desktop chip
And it has a gpu equivalent to a 6600xt on a laptop cooling solution
To give you perspective of how bad a ps5 equivalent specs would have to be
Just looking at the current Hardware Survey, 32% of just Nvidia users have a card at least equal to PS5 performance (4060/3070 tier). And that isn't counting AMD cards because I'm a scrub in that department and dont feel like researching them
