No, but it needs to be viable financially.  This is just a fact of development.  And much respect to the folks who can do it, but there is a point where the cost of optomizing something can outweigh it utility. 

I've seen hard work pay off a lot of times, hell human history has shown that hard work has gotten us places rather than easy coasting routes.

I think you misunderstand what I am saying.  There is a difference between hard work and complete optomization in the case of Uncharted 4.  I am not saying that the guys who seek to optomize PC aren't working hard.s  Of course they are and it does pay off.  What I am saying is that what it would take to optomize most sbig games on the level of what was done for the PS4 would be so time consuming that it is actually unecessary.  Especially since PC graphics cards shave enough raw horsepower to get there without those kind of optomizations.    What I am saying is that it would be nearly impossible for even Naughty Dog to optomize PC hardware to the fullest in the way that that they can on a closed platform like the PS4.  For one, they don't have the low level access on PC like they do on PS4 and even if they did, the number of configurations would drive them batshit crazy.  Fortunatly as I stated for many times, this isn't necessary on performance and enthusiast class rigs because they can bank on raw power.  

 

TLDR:  There is no reason do optomize PC the way Naughty Dog optomized the PS4.  And just because no one doest that on PC doesn't mean they aren't hard workers.
