>if a console cannot offer experiences that differentiate it from the inarguably superior alternative (PC) it'll just rot away as a netflix box, or dead weight in warehouses.
The CONSOLE doesn't offer any experience that differentiates it from a PC regardless, the GAMES are what offer the experience, not the console.
The draw of the console should be that it's simple, affordable, and portable. Those are the actual things that intrinsically set the two apart as hardware. Gatekeeping software in an attempt to "monopolize" access to games in an attempt to make people buy a redundant system for no reason is objectively stupid, and serves no purpose outside of greed.
