When will people understand that a console covers different needs? I am a PC gamer first, but I have 4 Xboxes in the house... And I would never/ever give up on them, and I'm definitely looking forward for the next Xboxes, Switch, Play Station, every generation.

Consoles are just so much easier to set up; they are plug-and-play; you do not need to update your drivers, and do all the things required on PC; people can just start the controller and play their games right away, The games are (for the Series X at least) looking very good and do not require spending a lot of money, etc...

And people coming up with, "Well, you can set up your PC with (for instance) Big View (Steam) or any other thing like that, making it usable with a controller, etc..."; well those are a lot of steps that need to be done and even then you won't get what console offers. Setting up a PC to do what a console do (the simplicity) is just a pain and whenever you want to change something you need a keyboard etc.. And it is just not what most people wants from their gaming device plugged to a TV. This is why consoles are so popular. 

The majority of console users want that simplicity over those framerate/ray tracing/being able to do something else than  playing games, the PC offers. 

This. I used to be a PC gamer, but it's just too much to deal with and all the kids running around. Just give me something where I can hold a controller and be done with it!

Consoles do cover different needs, I'm a console gamer. I just feel like a push for consoles to have really big leaps each generation (more than normal) will pass the cost onto the consumer. If 2 sets of specs become more common (like the Series X/S) then go for it.
