Again... he's not saying it's to appeal to every PC gamer, but to those who contribute to a mid-generation slump.  lawl indeed at all the strawman arguments.  Reasons to own a PC are not up for debate.  It's also OK to own both a PC and a console, and game on the one that gives you the better experience.

The only thing up for debate about what the Sony exec has said is wether or not Sony's data showing there is a mid-generation slump due to graphics quality is correct.

Exactly... "there’s a dip mid-console lifecycle... We wanted to keep those people "

The point about the mid-gen slump is that Sony is/was comfortable with their competitiveness vs. PC at start of gen...
Obviously that didn't mean nobody was interested in PC at the time of PS4 entry, it means that Sony was relatively more competitive in early-gen,
and they want to be able to draw an EQUIVALENT segment thru-out lifetime of console gen (AKA remove the mid-gen slump), thus PS4 NEO (Pro).
They aren't forseeing drawing a LARGER segment now than they did at beginnign of gen, they are just aiming to maintain that segment (remove slump).
