There's a lot of great things about PC gaming, so there's bound to be something for almost everyone. But yeah, it does seem pretty rare to have long loading times in a game on PC.

  fast and easy installs.

TBH it won't be as fast as PS4 since it starts installing crucial parts of the game so you are already playing it in 2 minutes while it does the rest in background. If it's a digital download, you can even start playing before the download finishes.

If you mean downloads, then it's true. PSN at least is quite crappy with speeds when it gets just a bit of load from users.

It has better have that functionality with those horrible speeds. It's 2016, Sony, fix the download speed already!

short loading times.

if you use SSD i asume 

It seems that a stock PS4 uses a 5400 RPM HDD, which are pretty rare on PC. 7200 RPM is more common on PC, and it's faster. And in cases where a game doesn't install much data to the HDD anyway, there obviously won't be much benefit from the HDD. Not sure if there's a lot of such games though. For past generations, the loading time advantage has been much greater though, because console games either couldn't use a HDD or a lot of them simply didn't even though they could.
