I just don't understand why consoles even exist. The most powerful console is always inferior to a cheap PC in every way. It's always been that way. Console versions are always stripped-down versions. Consoles are always a compromise.

Who likes this? Who pays for this?

Children and normies. They're there for the same reason ipads exist for grandma. A simple, plug and play device. You have autism so you can't understand other people have a different way of thinking as you, and that's fine, but do know there is a huge market for simple devices.

Eh, but they're literally significantly cheaper than even your 'cheap PC'? Especially while the component costs are soaring like now

they're easier to use

depends where you are from for sure. i feel like especially in na and asia kids often grow up in non pc households.
same reason ipods took off when mp3 players were a thing, or later iphones even though android phones are objectively better. easy to use + style + commercials esp work on seniors/teens/women and its the same with consoles. people still buy nintendo games even though its the same 5 franchises, low quality + their whole idea is to recycle and remakes "good oldies".

Which is a very recent and new issue but for over 30 years it was always cheaper to build a computer system that's far superior than any console

Every fucking time.

I’ve been on my PC for the last two weeks since upgrading my GPU
There is nothing I can play on console that is better than pc.

"Ease of use" for children and brainlets.
"Exclusives", which is not an argument, just a selling tactic. Exclusives existed because corpos needed to give people a reason to buy the consoles.
"Cheaper" as an argument as long as you don't factor in the television, peripherals, games, subscriptions and the fact that you get less than you can't do as much with.

It's very much a creation to make money from you, rather than actual convenience. Much like the ink printer, you're told it's the best and only way, you're offered one cheap, then you're expected to keep buying expensive ink every time you want to use it. You're not supposed to realize you could get a powder or laser printer that never dries out and they'll say, "but those are way too expensive" while hiding the fact that you make back the money simply by not having to keep buying cartridges.
A scam, in short.

The truth is, the basic research and assembly and troubleshooting is intimidating to many. I know it’s pathetic, but a car guy would laugh at someone who doesn’t want to change an engine part. Then there’s things like space and pricey peripherals, playing at a desk. Yeah you don’t have to, but you do. Consoles are easy, pc is for hobbyists.

Nothing beats them for couch gaming.

Thats it.

Even if you are autistic enough to put a tower in your living room with an HDMI cable you will run into countless small hiccups. God help you if you want to play with HDR.

They used to be nice. Cheaper and easier than a beefy 'puter, more portable and you just turned it on and put in the game and bam, it just works.
Personally once you started having a "dashboard" OS and patch downloads they lost a lot of the appeal for ME anyway.
