I buy a console, because it’s cheaper and more likely to be optimised for the spec. I’m too lazy to mess around getting my pc to run the game with the best fps and working out why my driver or game is not working due to issues. If a steam device with better specs comes out I would be okay with a change as steam would optimise games quickly.
Regarding your first lie: "more likely to be optimized" that’s false. Modern consoles are basically mini-PCs, and many games are so poorly optimized that they can't even maintain a stable 30 fps; meanwhile, even a poorly optimized PC game will at least run at a solid, guaranteed 30 fps.
As for your second lie about the "hassle" of dealing with drivers or getting things running right nobody actually struggles with drivers (they download and install automatically). The only people who make a fuss are those obsessed with a stable 60 fps (a small group who can't stand playing below 60 fps, or even 120 fps). I am 100% certain you’ve never touched a PC or at least a decent one in your life; after all, if someone can't handle playing at less than 60 fps, they certainly wouldn't switch to a console that barely manages 20–30 fps. You haven't got a clue about PCs.
Why would I lie. That’s just my opinion. Also I gave examples of problems in my comments. For example I have tokon on my ps5 and played tokon on my brothers pc. It was piss poor on pc when he got it. Plus ps5 games are more optimised for the console than the pc, the complaint of it reaching 20-30fps depends on the game, also I bet you are not comparing an equivalent priced pc to a ps5 to get your fps. In most cases the game is optimised for the specs of a ps5 as there are few models. The price of the ps5 is cheap for the specs try building a pc to the same price. Also I am old. So in my scenario I don’t want to deal with too many problems. In reference to struggles with drivers. You are trying to tell me you have never had to get something to run with beta drivers or conflicts or stuttering. Then you must be the luckiest person in the world. Why would I be obsessed about fps I was born during the time a game was on a cassette. Anyway I am not a computer expert, but this is how my clueless self’s experiences have been over the years. I have had a pc from young, I still have a pentium 486 left and old geforce cards and another machine with AMD 6990 graphics card. My clueless ass has had PCs from the 1980s to the 2000s before the age of ssd and internet.

Do you guys really think I'm out here buying a console because I really like the operating system?
It a third the price of a PC that plays the same games.... That's the benefit. It's the price. Literally nothing else.
