ON PC. That competitive scene doesn't go much to consoles, and even if the consoles offered that option, they would not abandon PC where they have even better options and can actually have high res and high framerate. 

the logic is the same. as yourself why 1080p monitors with 240Hz refresh rates were still being released after 4k and 1440 were already a thing.

regardless of the power of the PC, you get more frames, at lower resolutions, and lower resolutions are often chosen on PC, why in the same games, would a console player not also choose higher frame rates at lower res? the game is cross platform now, so you play PC players anyways, may as well do what they have proven leads to better results.

I won't argue against PC having better options, but even so, when optimizing a PC game for frame rate, lowering the res is usually the best thing to do to increase the frame rate. And also on PC 1080p is often chosen to push as many frames as possible EVEN THOUGH a powerful PC may be strong enough to run high frames at a high res.

lastly most PC players don't have those ultra-powerful PC's so you shouldn't generalize PC gamers based on the most expensive setups that exists.

Now you are taking what I said out of context. My claim is simple. The competitive scene on theese shooters is focused if not exclusive to the pc. Dont add anything to that. they want higher frames per second not us console folks. we want the best we can get and know there will be sacrifices but we pay less. So adding "options" to a crowd that does not care for it, does not benefit anyone. Maybe just some online trolls like us that argue online about games and consoles. But the majority of gamers dont and just want the best they can get. and now you even have to go throw system menus to get some options and thats just bullshit.
