Why do people bother buying consoles?

Cause they like the exclusives, the ecosystem and they've invested time into a brand with their PSN/Xbox Live friends list, gamerscore, trophies etc.

All you've done is list reasons why YOU wont be buying consoles. You've not deterred anyone else from buying them.

The point wasn't to deter anyone from buying consoles, I wanted a discussion on what you guys would like to see in the new consoles, besides the games.  I don't care about my gamerscore.  Xbox live is on PC.  I could go hunting for acheivements if I wanted to, but I don't.  Feel the same way about trophies.  I've got more than enough games on PS3 & 4 to get tons of trophies.  I still have access to my Xbox live friends, and notifications pop up on my desktop.  I can access PSN on my phone when I'm away from the console.

When PS5 arrives just throw your computer off the balcony and buy PS5, it's not so hard. You will get all the games on PS5, multiplatform and exclusives which you won't get on PC and playing with controller is more fun than keyboard + mouse yes even FPS. It's not really a hard decision, I abandon PC gaming after getting geforce 1070 gpu (crap GPU) and went PS4 pro and it was a great decision.

The only negative with console is 30 fps which I hope will be fixed next-gen.

Playing with a controller is not more fun than a keyboard.  That is a preference.  I own every playstation console.  Some games, I use either one or the other, and some games I would never touch with a controller.  Batman Arkam Knight I wouldn't use a keyboard for, but I would never play any shooter with a controller.

Well how about Horizon, Bloodborne, Persona 5, Nioh and many more? Although I agree with you on Uncharted and The Last of Us there are way more great exclusives then you mentioned. Exclusives make like 95% of the games I play. Its like exclusives + Desteny
Second thing are the cheaters. Competitive PC gaming is absolutely plagued with cheaters.
Thirdly you can do keyboard+mouse setup on your console if you desire so.

Not remotely interested in persona, and never tried nioh, or bloodborne.  Horizon, I just got tired of after a while.  And Destiny 2, which I own on PC, for free, (thanks activision) I don't like it.

I was hoping things would go beyond, "Just get consoles for exclusives."  Despite exclusives making their way to PC anyway... Yet, I'll say again, even if I could play every game from Nintendo Switch on PC, there would still be a reason to own the console.
