Valve are the main/only ones making progress on these kinds of annoyances, which is why I stan them.
Who here has a PC and a current gen console? How do you divide your time?

PC do you mean notebooks?
Yeap I have 2 notebooks.
PC for me is too uncomfortable to play games.
I have to get my notebook, put it near the TV, plugin the HDMI, setup the resolution, etc etc.
With fixed PC (not mobile) should be even worst.
Imagine you having to take that big things from your office to living room with all the cables and stuffs lol
People you say but you can build a PC to keep in your living room.
Yeap but all the time to build a PC and configure it.
Is it not easier just buy a console?

You say this as if minimum spec requirements don’t exist. I buy my systems at launch as well, where the value is even greater.
I don’t want to have to research why some game is crashing all the time, why my game is running horribly compared to others, upgrade parts, or wait multiple years for mere ports. Correct me if I’m wrong but I also hear PC versions this gen haven’t even been up to snuff either. I can see why loads of people dig it, especially enthusiasts, but I’m not sure it’ll ever be for me.
Multiple viable options available to you:
1. Build a PC for the living room because it's worth it
Here's mine in the bottom right:
2. Buy a full sized desktop maybe like this one, hide it out of sight and run a long HDMI cord to the TV.
3. Buy a pre-made mini PC like this one:

That is my point.
Some can not brother with that but for me is not useful at all.
Consoles are too restrictive. I don't mind having to do the ocassional tweaking (which is blown WAY WAY out of proportion by console gamers btw) if it means I get to play the game the exact way I want or push itthe most that I can each time I buy new hardware.
I have seen folks modding consoles just to play games that don't have 60 fps patches like RDR2 That's crazy to me.
Well it was never in my radar too... I will probably get Helldive 2 (that is not in my radar either) before even know what Palworld is.
I understand that and I think it is really interesting to gamers taking it time to do that.
But I just really want to get home and play games.
I really can't see I ever playing games on PC again.
Even mobile is more turn on and play than PC.
These are the two platforms I like to play: mobile and consoles.
Maybe we are really too different to like the same things

Thanks all for your input. I think I'll get a Steam deck 2 next year or something equivalent. I know consoles will always be my goto but great points all around.
