My reason would be because there is a Metro exodus on PS4 to compare with Horizon and using PC rather than the  PS4 game  leads us  to this question,  if we need to use the PC version to make the point, then  how would a  hypothetical PC Horizon  compare using what we can deduce from the differences between the PS4 Metro and the PC version as a rough guide.

 You can compare Horizon to the PS4 version, but that doesn’t change that it looks much better on a platform that exists now and we’re talking about coming back to games years down the line. Exodus (PC), like Horizon, is part of that. And PC is always compared to console, so claiming that this is now, somehow, unfair, is silly.

Your using the PC version is fine in the context of rereading Johns first quote I was thrown off when he later suggested it was an unfair comparison thinking he must have never mentioned the PC version when in fact he was the one who brought it up so it was fair game, I agree with you about comparing software, my argument isn't with comparing versions against one another, hell  it's core to digital foundries existence and helps us with choice, while John opened this particular discourse up  to Metro  PC , I still feel no matter how silly you may think it is, if you are comparing different games in respect to how they may have aged using the same platform if available gives a more even view toward that end, you can cut back somewhat on the wriggle room, then again how much does any of this matter when most people talk of aging are really mostly talking about ascetics and how they view the games appearance so it is truly in the eye of the beholder.
