It was a smart move. All 3 platforms should have the same experience.

No they shouldn't. The PC is capable of far far more than any of the consoles. Such as dedicated servers and mods and communities. No reason to make games shitty because other consoles can't compete.

No one prevents developers from using dedicated servers on console games.

Yes!... Well, exept the platforms themselves.

Not sure what you mean by that.  Developers can and do use dedicated servers for their games.  Forza 3 is an example of a game that will use dedicated servers for multiplayer.  Perhaps you are referring to the fact that customers cannot host their own dedicated servers on console games.  Well, that too, would be wrong:

"Section 8 publisher SouthPeak Games, along with developer TimeGate Studios, is set to break new ground on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment platform from Microsoft by supporting X Server functionality, an option where players can run their own dedicated servers using a Windows-based PC."
