What I like about console is the same as why a lot of people like apple: it just works. I have a PC for games that are not on console (eg flight simulator in VR), but for gaming, I just want to be on my couch and turn on the game. No drivers need updating (though game updates are annoying, I can usually delay them, and I can't mess them up), no "whoops now the sound doesn't work because I updated something for another game".

PSA: If you have a compatible tv or box you can now use steam link to stream your games from your pc. Works great with the game control for me. Its still in its infancy but it works. Also, playstation does also have updates, some are forced and insanely long, depending on your connection. I‘d say consoles make sense atm for people who have no time or enthusiasm for tinkering. It would help if more people used it though.
