So much misinformation in such a short sentence!
trophies: they are everywhere on PC and mobile... pick your poison: Steam achievements, EA Origin achievements, uPlay achievements, GOG Galaxy achievements, iOS Game Center, Google Play achievements, Amazon Game Circle...
exclusives: both PC and mobile games have plenty exclusives
simplicity/convenience: mobile is even more convenient than consoles or handhelds; PCs are getting more and more convenient with auto-updates (Windows, direct X, graphic drivers...), auto-game-patches (Steam, Origin, GOG Galaxy, Battlenet,...), auto-settings (Nvidia Experience), auto-cloud-saves (Steam), automatic video recording (ShadowPlay) and easy sharing, other convenient game client features like friend lists, text chats, voice chats, streaming options, game specific discussion forums and guides...
ownership: digital games on consoles and handhelds have no advantages compared to digital games on PC or mobile... all are account-bound licences (except most digital games bought on GOG and many in the Humble Store, Kickstarter versions and many others).
With physical games (retail), you own the box, the disc/module, the handbook (if there is one included) and a licence of that game (the same licence as buying digital), you don't own the game itself! The only advantage of these retail licences on consoles and handhelds: they don't get bound to your account (but preorder-DLCs, season passes and other DLCs will), so you can resell them; most AAA-games on PC can't be resold after activation, but thousands of smaller/older PC titles don't have to be activated and can be resold: http://www.ebay.com/sch/Video-Games-/139973/i.html?Platform=PC&_dcat=139973&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=2750&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

so much missinformation in your post
- trophies are more valuable and have a status symbol than all the pc archievments you have counted, those are just pixels. Trophies are integrated into the OS and every game has to support them on playstation, they can also be unlocked offline because they are on the disc.
So you are the judge over the fact which achievement systems are more important than others than similar achievement systems on other platforms? You decide which is the better status symbol / e-penis and which system motivates the players more? And it doesn't matter if the PS trophies are "on the disc", other achievement systems also work offline (Steam, iOS Game Center...), they also get synchronized when you go online later.
- most of these features you counted make the stuff more complicated.
Sure, badmouth every feature your console of choice doesn't have. Just like every feature the 7th gen didn't have and now suddenly is praised, since PS4 or XBO now have it too
The OS on the ps4 is way more advanced than windows or mobile devices because its made for gaming in mind ( i can play the game while installing the game). The games get made for consoles and are less buggy than the PC versions, see batman.
Some games are more buggy or less performant on PC, but many console games also are buggy when they are released and perform muc worse than on PCs. Arkham Knight ain't the general case... nice cherrypicking.
