There is another aspect to this. Take a look at the steam survey hardware survey... you will see how right you are and its not remotely controversial.

I think a lot of PC gamers lie about their "rigs"

i think most tell the truth about their pc. but all of those who play some dungeon of dredmor or monaco on their 5 years old notebook simply don't talk about pc stuff as much because they don't seem to care about it. 

if only 10% of steam users have a decent rig, it's still enough people to have so many forums and threads about it. since they are already pc users the chance is also much higher that they participate in forums. many console users aren't even active in forums so that even with a much lower amount of pc gamers with decent rigs, you still see a good percentual amount of gamers in forums with good rigs. 

not to forget that many people aren't even steam users. there are a lot of gamers who play only pirated games and so on...
