    I would be a thousand times happier in a world without consoles. Games are published everywhere, and “consoles” are just prepackaged PCs from Microsoft or Sony for people who do not want to build a PC themselves

    What do you think current PS and Xbox consoles are? They are all just PC hardware with each a custom OS as differentiating feature. A world in which everything has to run Windows is definitively much worse than the current state.

      Your definition is missing the crucial aspect of forced exclusives and locked down platform.

      A world in which everything has to run Windows

      Ah yes, as we all know, any gaming PC needs to run Windows, specially if turned into a console form factor. The Steam Deck, famously, runs on Windows 10.
