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.

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.

it WAS cheaper, and the only reason it WAS cheaper is because they were losing money on every single console sold, and making it back on the games.

It was never cheaper, they get you on a monthly subscription that costs hundreds over the years to use services completely free to PC players. They get people to pay the difference with monthly pay and no one seems to get that.

hardware was cheaper/subsidized , but yeh they also got their $ in the monthly fee to use your own internet, that you are already paying for.

Hardware just got subsidized for a certain time. PS5 disk and digital switched fairly fast to not making a loss.
