On PC you get a generic build that has to be able to work with many different configurations. On PS4 developers know exactly what's available, can use every bit to the fullest, and compile an optimized build with as much as possible hardcoded.

Maybe they can use every bit to the fullest 4-5 years into the Gen, but it's pretty rare 8 months in.

Sure, console games keep improving during the gen, further increasing the difference between the console build and the pc build on similar hardware.
My point was that if you want to match gaming performance you'll need quite a bit of overhead in raw power, and even then you're not guaranteed a smooth experience. Adjusting the settings on the fly in heavy scenes has been done for you on console.
