Honestly crazy to me that people will pay 700 for a Playstation instead of 8-900 for a pc

I don't think you can get anywhere close to the performance of a PS5Pro with an 8-900 bucks PC.

There's also the matter of the user experience, the fact that a lot of people have a large catalog of games on the PS platform.

On the other hand, there's a lot of stuff that can be done on a PC that's just impossible on a console.

On the one hand, the console is a bargain. On the other, not nearly as much. Apples, oranges.

PCs are a lot more hassle if you just want to chill and play games.

Not such a big deal if you’re using the computer for other stuff, but a 2nd living room PC just never made sense to me.

Exactly. Keyboard and mouse? Desk? Software updates? Heaven forbid: Windows? PS5 on the couch is by far the better experience.
