I play PC because my copy of StarCraft from like 2000 still works and I can use any computer/gaming peripheral in history that still physically works to this day on a PC. A PC is more compatible with PS4 peripherals/gamepads than a PS5. Plus not paying for the privilege to play multiplayer games that a developer is hosting in AWS
The experience being so similar between a PC and a console is more an indictment on locked down PCs as consoles than against PC. E-waste
My PC is so backwards compatible it can run games meant for OS's my OS's main competitor, and their ancestors as well.
Better yet it can literally run those OS's over things like KVM/Qemu and DOSBox.
I guess Nintendo made that Wii container for Wii U like once lol.
You can also upgrade it part by part, and not have to let the entire thing get replaced every cycle.
To be fair, connecting some of the hardware I used in the 80ies is not straight-forward. But not impossible.
Bam! Fucking mic drop!
