Are Xbox One buyers REALLY paying $100 more for weaker hardware?

I live in the U.S.  I don't have free plus.  I'll probably use the $10 thingy that came with the PS4 for a month of Plus and then subscribe for a year.

Why waste the $10 for a month.  Just subscribe use the voucher to add $10 to your PSN and then subscribe for a year.  One of plus is a ripoff.
