      They are arguably cheaper

      No they are not. The total cost of ownership is much higher with consoles. That is even if you don’t pirate. Not to mention that the buying price for consoles is only competitive in the first few years of a generation.

      they’re plug and play,

      No, you wait around inserting a disk, and for a 100GB update to finish.

      no reinstalling windows/Linux Most gamers never reinstall their OS.

      You don’t have to fiddle with the settings,

      This is a bad thing. On PC, I can decide to play it how I want. Do I want to trave in fidelity for performance? I can. Do I want to do the reverse? I can.

      check fps

      They don’t let you check fps on consoles because of you knew how pathetic it was, and if you ever had any experience playing on PC, you’d know how much of a rip off consoles are and switch over.

      it’s poorly optimized for your specific piece of hardware

      This is never the case. A wide range of hardware work with PC games. PC parts are interoperable by design. The two main GPU vendors - AMD and Intel, optimize the hell out of their drivers. If a game is optimized, it is automatically optimized for all hardware.
